Of course, the situation the new signings find themselves in is going to be particularly difficult to get to grips with.
But Liverpool are known to be incredibly welcoming and Arne Slot will be doing his utmost to make sure they feel like valued members of the team, and the players' professionalism won't be in doubt.
On the Red side of Merseyside, we are all a big family and the support network that the newcomers will be joining when pre-season takes place will only be getting bigger.
Before he makes the step to join the rest of the Liverpool squad, Jeremie Frimpong has been pictured working hard on his fitness, completing a variety of training drills to get up to speed.
This is extremely positive news because adapting to Premier League football and to the intense playing style that Arne Slot operates with is going to be challenging initially, so getting a head start is going to be key for any of the new recruits if they want to bed themselves into the team from the off.
The weeks before the season starts and the pre-season games will be integral bonding experiences for the group, be it on a sporting level to develop that team chemistry, or on a personal level, so that everyone feels comfortable around each other as they will be working in close proximity all the time.
Of course, it can be easy to get over excited and at a time where everything still feels sombre, so soon after Jota's passing, this optimistic update is valued, but there will be a long way to go until everything starts to feel somewhat normal again, although for some, that is still tough to imagine.
