Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that the Reds have to do something in the summer as the club's struggles continue.

Wednesday's opening leg of their Champions League match in the round of 16 saw Real Madrid defeat the Reds 5-2.

Despite having games in hand on some of its competitors, Liverpool is seventh in the Premier League during their erratic season.

"We know we have to improve and change things and we will. We cannot do it now but it's already clear that we have to do something in the summer. For now, we just have to go through this and fight back," said Klopp.

Together with the striker Roberto Firmino, the midfielders James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Liverpool will all see their contracts expire in the summer.

This season, some players have also struggled with their form, and as a result, Klopp's team finds itself seven points outside the top four of the Premier League. 

The Reds are scheduled to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Klopp also said that he signed a new contract at Liverpool because he understood that there would be a period of transition

"The way that this club is led is by not splashing the money. Our transfers always have to be on point. That makes it really tricky. We cannot make four transfers before we know who will leave the club and these kind of things," the German coach said.

"Last year was not a season for a big change. We played until the last moment and, if you want to change at this club, we cannot just bring in players and realise later that no-one wants to leave. It doesn't work like that.

"It's not possible to start it early because we have final after final, played the season until the last minute, played the Champions League final, then we had a short break, then a lot of injuries, and then the FIFA World Cup."
