TheJurgen Klopp, director of iverpool, said his club could not afford to play a "fantastic football" in the transfer market.
After record deals in 2018, Liverpool is more cautious this summer, with Klopp's decision to largely stick to the group he has based on necessity as well as choice.
He explained how the lavish contracts to retain star players have absorbed much of this year's budget, despite the substantial rewards gained by winning the Champions League. As a club, Liverpool has also invested in the club's infrastructure with a GBP 100 million loan to expand the main stand and the new training ground under construction.
Klopp often pointed out how the transactions for Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson – often relied on as evidence that he was willing to be a checkbook manager when appropriate – were subsidized by the sale of Philippe Coutinho. This transaction was facilitated by the transfer that began when Neymar left Barcelona for Paris St Germain for £ 200 million. The Spanish champions used this money to buy Coutinho.
In keeping with the club's policy under Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool is taking a longer-term view. The club is ready to wait for favorable market conditions to find players who will improve the makeup of the starting team rather than wasting money on secondary targets.
