Liverpool have pulled back from their summer market plans.
The Mirror says Liverpool look set to not sign a single player this summer as the club adjust to the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
Under normal circumstances, the Reds would have pursued long terms targets in Timo Werner and Houssem Aouar, with both players followed closely over the past three seasons.
But with the duo likely to command a fee of at least £40million each, it is claimed even the second richest club in England will have to put the deals on hold and adjust their budgets to recognise the economic turmoil of the coronavirus crisis.
Werner does have a clause in his contract but RB Leipzig are demanding a fee verging on £50million should he leave this summer, while France international Aouar is valued at around £40m by Lyon.
