The Spaniard welcomed four new players through the Anfield doors and, although this is a decent number of signings, it still feels like the Reds could've done with bringing more in.
There are still a couple of gaping holes among their first-team squad that could do with filling but for now, the former Bournemouth boss needs to make do with what he's got at his disposal.
Before the next transfer window comes around, it does feel like some decisions will need to be made on the future of some Liverpool players.
Some, such as Luke Chambers are already being linked with a move away but, looking even further ahead at the 2027 summer transfer window, it's clear that more money will need to be spent.
So, the fact that Iraola already seems to be making decisions on the future of some players proves that he's the right man for the job, especially if the Reds are wanting to get back to their best.
Liverpool want to sign Atletico Madrid's Marc Pubill
Even though two new defenders were added to Liverpool's ranks this summer, it still feels like more could be done to improve their back line.is only on a season-long loan and, while he does have an option to buy included in the deal, it's still unclear whether the Reds will activate it or not.
Virgil van Dijk's contract is also set to expire at the end of the current season and, even though most fans want him to stay, no rumours of negotiations have started to emerge yet.
So, the fact that Fussball News have shared that Atletico Madrid's Marc Pubill is on Liverpool's shortlist makes a lot of sense."According to information from fussball-news.de, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool are among the interested parties. While no concrete negotiations are currently underway, the English clubs are keeping a close eye on Pubill," they .
"A transfer is unlikely to be easy or cheap for Premier League clubs. Pubill is under contract with Atlético until June 30, 2030. This gives the Madrid club considerable negotiating power.
"According to information from fussball-news.de, Atlético sees the defender as an important part of its future plans. Should the club even consider talks about a sale, any interested party would have to dig deep into their pockets.
"A transfer fee of between 55 and 60 million euros is currently being discussed as a possible starting point for negotiations. Performance-related bonuses and other contract terms could also play a role. "
If Liverpool sign Marc Pubill there will be no room for Ronald Araujo to return to Anfield
Araujo and Pubill both play in the exact same positions.Each of them can be used as a centre-back or a right-back but, the fact that Pubill is around five years younger than the Uruguayan proves why he'd be a smarter investment for Liverpool.
Indeed, if Van Dijk and Alisson both exit L4 next summer, there would be a major lack of leadership around Anfield so, in that case, Araujo would probably be a smart signing.
However, with how extensively Liverpool have planned their transfers for the future, the fact that Pubill could grow to become an even better player than he already is will be a major selling point for the Anfield outfit.
In a way, they could both technically join Liverpool next term but, with Pubill being priced the same as Araujo, signing the younger of the two makes a lot more sense.
The Spaniard has quickly become one of Diego Simeone's most important players so, if they can prise him away from the Metropolitano, it would be massive.
Indeed, the fact that Aruajo has been called Vinicius Jr's toughest opponent certainly plays more in his favour but, at the moment, it's hard to see why Liverpool would go for the '' defender over Pubill, even if he is in a decent run of form.
