It comes after interest in Reds' forward Cody Gakpo, with Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur keen on signing the Dutch international.
When asked about Liverpool transfer business and whether the Reds were set for a busy window, Ornstein said on TNT Sports: "Potentially. Cody has a big decision to make because he's got three very good options. He either stays at Liverpool, where he'll be a great asset - already has been so far.
"He moves to Manchester City, their interest is genuine. Or he goes to Tottenham, and they've been pursuing him - it's been a bit more high-profile - for some time. Pros and cons to all of those options.
"If he decides to stay, then Liverpool will probably park their pursuit of a right-sided attacker, because then they'll have the four wingers already in the building.

"If he decides to go, then Liverpool will look to execute on a deal for the right-hand side as well.
"We've seen that Yankuba Minteh is a target, they've had a couple of bids turned down by Brighton and Hove Albion. And also, Ismaila Sarr of Crystal Palace.
"There's been an enquiry but no bid at this point, so it's a live situation and big calls need to be made in the coming days."
Iraola made it clear the Reds were trying to sign a new winger, and was hoping for good news before the window closes.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Iraola said: "As you know, we are trying to sign in that position and also, as you know, we cannot talk about players that right now are not ours.
"But it's evident that we are trying to improve or try to fill that position because we don't have the numbers. I hope we can have good news soon but we are still not there."
