Liverpool completed their protracted deal for Naby Keita in the end, but there was a catch.
Reds fans won't get to see the Guinean midfielder on Merseyside until next season after a deal was agreed to sign him from RB Leipzig for the beginning of the 2018/19 campaign.
And so supporters are settling down for a season of catching all of Keita's highlights whenever he plays for club and country. And as you can see in the video above, that promises to be very exciting.

The midfielder scored a stunning goal just seven minutes in to Guinea's World Cup qualifier against Libya in Conakry, a match which Guinea eventually won 3-2.
And unsurprisingly, the goal got Reds fans very, very excited.
Is it next year yet?
