On Thursday, it was all about Virgil Van Dijk and Thomas Lemar for Liverpool fans.
In the end, the Reds got neither, forced to watch as the French forward proved the hype around him with two goals for France against the Netherlands, including a stunning half volley from the edge of the box.
Failing with their incomings, capture of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain aside, most of the activity involved players leaving the club, either on loan or permanently.
However, with the window now behind them, the club can now focus on something very important, and that is tying Emre Can to a new contract.
The German midfielder has had an impressive start to the season under Jürgen Klopp, and, with less than a year left on his current deal, will be free to talk to clubs from January onwards.
This is obviously something the Reds want to avoid at all costs, especially with Juventus lurking in the background, already expressing their interest in the 23-year-old via their director of football, Beppe Marotta.
Corriere dello Sport look at the situation on Friday, and explain that Can has a soft spot for the Serie A champions.
However, the Italian newspaper reveal that Liverpool haven’t lost hope of convincing their star of putting pen to paper.
The club’s strong start to the season will certainly help, but this is a story we are bound to see regularly in the Italian papers until either Juventus do get their man, or Can renews.
Strap yourselves in, everyone. This could be a long one.
