Liverpool FC: coach Jürgen Klopp announces transfer offensive

Sport

“Royal class” in the far distance

“We will invest in the summer, I can definitely say that,” said Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp before the 4-1 defeat by Manchester City. The away game at second in the table made it clear how urgently the Reds need new staff, because there was almost a class difference to see on the pitch. Klopp’s team is in danger of missing out on the Champions League for the first time in six years – seven points behind fourth place.

One of the main reasons for this is probably the austerity course of the club management. Since 2019, the Reds have spent €319m on 16 new signings – the bottom line is “only” €149m more than they made on sales. In the Premier League alone there are seven teams whose transfer expenses exceed their income by more than 300 million euros, which means that they have invested significantly more in the squad. These include Aston Villa, West Ham United and Newcastle United. / To the table of the Premier League

“There’s nothing to say about which players we’ll get and how many,” said Klopp (quoted via “Sky”). According to media reports, BVB professional Jude Bellingham and Chelsea’s Mason Mount are at the top of the wish list, because the shoe pinches, especially in midfield. There, the contracts of Naby Keïta (28), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (29) and loan player Arthur Melo (26) should not be renewed. The fact that Thiago (31) missed most of this season fits into the image of the Reds, who are suffering from bad luck with injuries.

When asked whether Liverpool would break the 100 million mark for a new signing for the first time in the club’s history, Klopp kept a low profile: “I will not answer that question”. It is clear that this was about Bellingham, for whom Borussia Dortmund is said to be asking at least 120 million euros. It is questionable whether the appeal of Liverpool is big enough if only the Europa League or the Conference League is on the program in 2023/24. The prospect of working with Klopp, who never tires of emphasizing that a lot of money will be spent in the summer, is available at Anfield today until 2026.
