Player Valuation: £60m
Liverpool transfer window in trouble.
They're looking to bring in £80M-£100M through player sales; a lot of that will be through sales of peripheral younger British players as well as the likes of Minamino and Shaqiri. The issue is that to have a large squad of 25 they need to also have 8 home grown...which said transfer budgeting is snookering. So they'll either have to sell and replace home grown by limititing themselves to home grown (players already in the country and playing here for more than 3 seasons whatever the nationality) or stick with a lot of those players they'd like to get shut of, or Klopp will have to demand more cash from FSG.
I wouldn't mind betting they'll go with a smaller squad and lower their horizons for 2021/22.
The RS are masters at getting other clubs to massively overpay for their squad players.
£24 Million for Rhian Broomhandle from Sheff Utd, they were laughing all the way to the bank.
