LIVERPOOL -- Jurgen Klopp has said the majority of Liverpool's summer transfer plans are in place after they secured Champions League qualification on Sunday.
Liverpool finished in the Premier League's top four for only the second time in the past eight seasons thanks to a 3-0 win over relegated Middlesbrough at Anfield.
Earlier this week, Klopp said that, having held talks with potential signings, players were increasingly interested in the "project" at Anfield.
"We are already pretty much done," the manager said of the club's transfer business. "Most of the work is already done.
"Decisions need to be done, probably negotiations or whatever needs to be done -- all that stuff. It's all good. We are prepared, we will see what will work out.
"I have a little bit of work to do -- it's a few phone calls, talking about wonderful things like football, Liverpool and other things."
Georginio Wijnaldum's goal against Boro in first-half stoppage time relieved the pressure at Anfield, with Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana adding to the scoreline shortly after the break.
Klopp believes the fourth-placed finish is an achievement and can be a platform for future success.
"It feels outstandingly good in this moment," he added. "Everything is good in this club.
"It feels good, but of course we have to deliver results. Feeling in a good way is one thing, showing you are in a good way is another thing -- again, we showed it today.
"We deserve this position. Seventy-six points is an outstanding number. We all know what happened in January [a slump in form], I'm not sure all of us agree why. The explanation is injuries and games -- we cannot change this.
"We learned a lot this year about ourselves, so we can use it.
"Usually at the end of the season you are kind of tired, but I could start tomorrow because I'm really looking forward to what we can do. I'm really proud of the boys. They did well."
Liverpool have to overcome a qualifier to book their place in the group stage of Europe's premier competition.
Having been absent from the Champions League for the past two seasons, Klopp feels Liverpool now need to compete with Europe's best on a regular basis.
"There is nothing better," he said. "You want to be there -- Liverpool needs to be there consistently.
"I would not say we are already in because qualification is qualification, but I'm already looking forward to it. We will be really strong and we will fight for it.
"You have to make steps and the step is for us to be around the best teams in the world because we are one of the best clubs in the world."
