Before the Premier League launch, Jürgen Klopp found critical words for Chelsea’s shopping tour. But an expert doubts whether Liverpool’s strategy is the right
one. Liverpool FC will be third in the Premier League season starting on Saturday. There are actually two clubs in the richest league in the world that have spent even less money on new entrants in this transfer window than the reigning champion: Brighton and Burnley.
Jürgen Klopp’s only replacement left-back Konstantinos Tsimikas (24, Olympiakos Piraeus) to date, who cost 13 million euros, has of course to do with the fact that his squad has hardly any quality deficiencies after 196 points in the last two seasons. First and foremost, however, it is the conservative financial strategy of the club with Fenway Sports Group at the forefront, which apparently also wants to survive the corona crisis without incurring new debts.
“For some clubs it seems less important how uncertain the future is”
“The world lives in uncertainty,” says Klopp in an interview published by the BBC on Thursday. “For some clubs it seems less important how uncertain the future is because they are owned by countries, oligarchs. That is the truth.”
