Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged Philippe Coutinho to stay and help take the club back to the elite.
The manager is excited by the development of his current crop and the injection of quality provided by his three summer signings.
“Everybody thought 'he's going, he's going, he's going' but so far nobody is going," Klopp said.
“If we stay together like this there will be a few hard decisions because they can't start all together. Then we have to see how this works.
“Be angry at me, no problem, stay confident, that is important, then three days (later) there is another game so let's be there again. There are a lot of challenges.
“The plan is that they all make the next step. Of course we want to build on the base of last year.
“I said we always want to develop this team and there are two things to do – signings and training so we did both.
“The signings are nice, either they play or they push another player. Now it's more difficult to play all the time."
