Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is happy with the way the club's transfer policy is structured.

The German is used to working with a sporting director from his time at Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool's transfer committee, a source of frustration for former boss Brendan Rodgers, has been re-evaluated and revamped since Klopp's arrival with the 49-year-old having the final say on all deals.

But Klopp, who has made seven signings this summer including the £32m capture of Sadio Mane and £25m deal for Georginio Wijnaldum, is happy to adopt an all-round approach to sourcing and securing targets.

"Improvement can come in all kinds of life and in all parts of life and it's based on experience," he told ESPN.

"So I don't think it makes sense that you give one person the whole power, that's why we have democracy and no other kind of political leadership.

"Hopefully it stays like this and because we learned that it makes sense that you put all your skills together and in the end you try to find the best decision.

"We all have a budget - [that is] how it is and that's how I like it and that's how I'm used to working. So it's a lot of work to find a solution at the end.
