Impossible for Liverpool to Sign Expensive Player Like Neymar

DBasia.news – Liverpool become the candidate of Premier League’s winner this season by the great spending of Fabinho, Naby Keita, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Alisson Becker. On average, The Reds spent ‎£170M to recruit them all.

In the past year, Liverpool broke two transfer records for the world’s most expensive defender Virgil van Dijk worth ‎£75M and world’s most expensive goalkeeper Alisson worth 66,8 million euro before Kepa Arrizabalaga broke the record by the transfer from Chelsea worth 80 million euro from Athletic Bilbao.

Liverpool transfer signed that they got carried away by the millennial transfer wave where the clubs don’t hesitate to follow the transfer fee inflation and purchase them with expensive price. Liverpool have the probability to follow Paris Saint-Germain’s step to purchase Neymar from Barcelona last season worth 222 million euro.

Under the US company Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool might do that. However, the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it would be impossible to sign the transfer just like how PSG recruited Neymar.

“No chance, no chance, no chance. We are not owned by a state like it’s the case at two big clubs. We have our limits. We have a conservative leadership,” Klopp told ESPN.

Furthermore, Klopp admitted that he and his club were forced to purchase a player with a high price tag, following the football modern era.

“It feels like £100million back then is £500million today. When Neymar joined PSG for €222million, I shook myself. Back then I had an opinion, but an incredible lot has happened since. In 2017, Neymar joined Paris, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele joined Barcelona for a lot of money, and Kylian Mbappe (joined) Paris,” Klopp added.

“This opened the whole thing, the money’s on the market. Now, if Liverpool wants a player, the other clubs want a bit of the cake too. That’s the story. And you must also keep in mind that players like Mo Salah, Sadio Mane or Robert Firmino, players we bought for £30million to £40million, have a different value on the transfer market these days. That’s part of the business,” he concluded.
