Liverpool have pulled out of the race to sign a 'superstar' with Andoni Iraola wanting to move on to other targets.
The Reds are in the market for reinforcements during the summer transfer window as they look to back their new manager, Iraola.
Victor Munoz was the first player to arrive through the door at Anfield, with Liverpool hijacking Newcastle's move to sign the winger.
The Merseyside club will be in the market for further winger reinforcements, while they also need to strengthen in various other positions.
Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate have all left the club this summer on free transfers, so there's no doubt Liverpool need additions all over the pitch.
The signing of Munoz certainly won't be enough, especially if Liverpool want to improve on their fifth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

Andoni Iraola
According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool are now exploring other targets instead of signing Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton in the summer transfer window.
The Eagles are reluctant to lose the England international, and Liverpool's interest has now gone quiet.
Iraola is now exploring other targets as he doesn't feel that Wharton suits his style of play.
Liverpool are also set to prioritise strengthening their squad in other areas rather than the midfield before turning to the middle of the park later in the window.
Wharton, described as a 'superstar', certainly would have been an expensive deal to complete, with Palace reportedly demanding in the region of £100m.

Liverpool have other priorities
Mohamed Salah
Understandably, Liverpool do have other priorities in the summer transfer window. Liverpool desperately need to find a replacement for Egyptian winger Salah, even though he endured a difficult season last time out.
Salah has been a phenomenal goalscorer and creator for Liverpool since he arrived at the club, and losing that kind of production in the final third could be damaging.
It is imperative that the Reds replace him adequately, and that is likely to be their major priority in the coming weeks.
The Merseyside club were pursuing a move for Yan Diomande, but it now appears that he's more likely to join Paris Saint-Germain.
