Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists he will not talk about transfers as he cannot influence his targets or positively affect the outcome.
The Reds have so far signed Mohamed Salah from Roma and Dominic Solanke after his contract expired at Chelsea, but are reportedly interested in RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita and Hull left-back Andrew Robertson.
Speculation also continues to link them to Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk, despite the club publicly withdrawing their interest in the Holland international after Saints reported them to the Premier League for an alleged tapping-up of the player.
Liverpool fly out to Hong Kong for the Premier League Asia Trophy on Sunday, and no further additions are expected before then.
"If whatever would say here would change anything in a positive way, I would. It is not important what I say. No. I can't say anything," said Klopp after the 1-1 friendly draw with Wigan in which Salah scored in his first appearance.
There may, however, be a departure after Lazio made a £5million bid for midfielder Lucas Leiva, the club's current longest-serving player after a decade on Merseyside.
The Brazilian was left out of the squad at the DW Stadium as he considers his future and Klopp is unsure whether the 30-year-old will be on the flight to the Far East.
"I am not 100 per cent sure, but I think for Lucas, (who's had an) outstanding, fantastic time at Liverpool, we should talk about facts and not rumours. Maybe something, maybe not," said the Reds boss.
Asked whether the midfielder would be travelling with the squad at the weekend, he added: "We will see."
"The Premier League gave us a nice challenge that we can only involve 25 players, so if we take three goalkeepers we can only take 22 (outfield players).
"Tonight we will make the decision. Maybe the squad will need to be different. Clyney (Nathaniel Clyne) has a little issue. Alberto Moreno is on the way back.
"We have to take enough players that we can play two games in difficult circumstances."
Klopp was pleased with Salah's first appearance and a goal on the stroke of half-time to equalise Alex Gibley's opener.
"The first situation (was a) nice sprint. The goal was an easy situation," said Klopp.
"He had no idea how to defend normally because he was not involved (previously). He is really used to a completely different way of defending."
