While the term "Galactico signing" is not usually associated with Liverpool, there are subtle hints indicating that might change next year. The club's kit deal with New Balance is set to expire at the end of the 2019/20 season and they have been actively seeking a new deal, which would become the Premier League's highest.

Reports from a few months ago indicate they were in advanced talks with Nike over a record kit deal and the main reason why Liverpool wouldn't be looking to strengthen this summer is because they have something big planned over the next twelve months.

The contracts of Lallana, Clyne, Joel Matip and James Milner are set to expire in 2020. From the above-mentioned quartet, only Matip and Milner are likely to be granted extensions. After Daniel Sturridge and Alberto Moreno were both released in June, the club's wage bill has been reduced. With the ever-increasing TV revenues, a potential record kit deal and an uncluttered wage bill, a significant signing appears to be on the horizon for Liverpool soon.
