Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola expressed satisfaction with the quality of his squad following the club's summer transfer activity. Speaking ahead of the Premier League match against Ipswich Town, Iraola noted that new signing Bradley Barcola, who joined from Paris Saint-Germain for £123 million, is available for selection. Barcola has trained with his teammates this week, but Iraola mentioned that the player's lack of pre-season minutes will be considered before deciding on his inclusion. The club chose not to strengthen at right-back and central midfield, with Iraola citing sporting and financial reasons for rejecting other options. He also defended the decision not to replace Curtis Jones after his departure.
