Jose Enrique's transfer has brought Liverpool's spending spree to an end, despite rumours linking the Reds with Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain.
Spanish left-back Enrique completed his £6 million move from Newcastle United on Friday morning to become the fifth major arrival at Anfield this summer.
Reports in the Spanish press claimed that Liverpool had also made a £22 million offer for Higuain – although Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho was said to have rejected it.
However, Reds director of football Damien Comolli indicated there was no interest in the Argentina international.
Asked whether Enrique would be the final signing of the transfer window, Comolli told the club's official website: 'You can never say never, but it is likely.'
Liverpool had already landed Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Alexander Doni, and Comolli declared himself satisfied with his summer's work.
'I am convinced we were right in what we wanted to do. We've strengthened all the areas we wanted to strengthen with quality,' he said.
'I think there is a lot of debate about prices for players and transfer fees paid, not just with Liverpool but throughout the Premier League, but if we have signed a player it is because we were happy to pay the price of the transfer fee we paid.'
The Frenchman added that there may be some departures from Anfield before the end of the month.
