Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is demanding a better organised preseason this summer.
Last summer's preparation saw Liverpool travel to the Far East, with Klopp complaining he hadn't had enough time to work with his players.
Klopp will report to work on July 8, with his internationals returning on July 11. A training camp will then be held in Germany before Liverpool head to Singapore in late July to play a couple of games, one of which will be against Bayern Munich.
"This year must be different," said Klopp. "We have to step up. And we have to prepare that in the pre-season and that's why I want them back together as quick as somehow possible, respecting the necessity of holidays.
"I know that and I respect that. I want them to go on holiday for as long as possible but, for this year, we have to make sure we are together as soon as possible and can go from there. The next season stands above everything, to be honest."
