Carragher thinks that Liverpool could be saving funds in order to focus on the next summer transfer window instead.
“In the past under Jurgen Klopp, they always worked 12 months in advance. They were always thinking not about this window, but about the next window,” Carragher said on Sky Sports.
Liverpool will also be well aware that the likes of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in the final year of their contract.
Carragher has described this as a ‘problem’, but he doesn’t think that his former club will panic in the final days of the window.
“So they’ve come in late, had to bed a manager in. They’ve obviously got this problem in terms of the contracts which they will have to fix before Christmas.
“But the reason why Liverpool, I don’t think, are buying players right now is that they’re probably already thinking about next summer.
“That might sound ridiculous, but Liverpool in the last few years – or even more than that, five to 10 years – haven’t panicked in the transfer market and I love that about Liverpool.
“But, do they need reinforcements in certain positions? Yeah.”
Liverpool still have time to sign some reinforcements before the transfer window shuts, with the club still eyeing up defensive and midfield options.
