Liverpool's £95m remains, burning question persists as Jurgen Klopp finalizes transfer strategy.
The announcement that took Liverpool supporters by surprise this week was the arrival of Wataru Endo, an unexpected addition to bolster their defensive midfield options. Although not widely recognized among British fans, Endo is anticipated to fulfill a squad role, raising questions about who will assume the starting No. 6 position for Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp has hinted at further incoming transfers during the ongoing window, with the unsuccessful bid for Moises Caicedo serving as a glimpse of their intentions. Liverpool's audacious £111 million offer for Caicedo last week, which ultimately saw him joining Chelsea, shocked the football community.
This level of expenditure hasn't been the norm for Liverpool in past transfer windows. While significant funds were invested in players like Darwin Nunez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson, their bid for Caicedo surpasses all previous records. This is the kind of financial commitment that could have secured a deal for Jude Bellingham, even though the main stumbling block was reportedly his wages.
However, this raises questions about Liverpool's transfer strategy this summer, especially if FSG (Fenway Sports Group) is willing to authorize such a substantial sum. The departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have contributed to this financial pool, and Endo's signing only represents a fraction of the available resources.
Liverpool is set to pay £16 million for the 30-year-old Endo, leaving £95 million from the funds earmarked for Caicedo. Numerous midfield targets are still linked with Liverpool, and this remaining budget should be more than sufficient to secure the necessary signings.
