Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool have to buy wisely this summer if they are to challenge Manchester United next season.
The Liverpool skipper admits The Reds are two or three players short of rivals United, who have more depth and quality in their squad.
Rafa Benitez has reportedly agreed a deal to take full back Glen Johnson to Anfield for £18 million, while The Reds have also been linked with big-money moves for Valencia’s David Silva and Carlos Tevez.
Benitez’s side finished second in the table last time around despite amassing their record Premier League points tally.
And Gerrard believes the Spaniard will need get it right in the close season in order to turn The Reds from challengers to champions.
“Today we are a lot closer to the title than in the past but the close season signings will be vital,” he told France Football.
“Manchester United have more depth in their squad than us, you have to admit it. But if we add the right two or three quality players to those we already have we will be at their level.”
“I am not proud of having won nothing this season. But I think the experience of the failure will help us next season. The team has made enormous progress. Now we have to step up again and the summer will be vital for that.”
