Another ENORMOUS Liverpool transfer is coming

Liverpool have been forced to do something special. Another mega transfer is on the way.

Liverpool spent enormously over the summer, with more than £400m going on player sales. Richard Hughes and company set about rebuilding a title-winning squad - and that takes a lot of cash.

Of course, sales played a big part in that. £200m+ arrived as stars left for new clubs, helping fund the incredible spend.

Florian Wirtz was merely the first transfer to break Liverpool's record. Alexander Isak followed a few months later, breaking the British transfer record in the process.

The Reds haven't been shy to spend money when they feel they should, then. They wanted a new playmaker and so spent the money on Wirtz. They wanted an elite no.9 and so spent the money on Isak (and Hugo Ekitiké, for that matter).

Now we think they're going to spend the money again.

Liverpool's mega transfer

Liverpool are now in need of an elite centre-back. They were pushing to sign Marc Guehi at the end of the transfer window, of course, only for Crystal Palace to collapse the deal at the last minute.

The £35m they intended to spend on Guehi was an opportunistic price. His contract is expiring this summer, with Liverpool hoping to pay a fee for one extra year of football and to eliminate competition for his signature.

It will be more difficult to sign him going forward. Non-English clubs can offer him a pre-contract from January 1st, complicating the winter transfer window. Guehi may also simply prefer to let his contract expire at this point.

But there is a need to sign someone in January. The long-term injury to Giovanni Leoni leaves Liverpool short at the back, with only three senior centre-backs available, possibly for the rest of the season.

So Liverpool need to find cover, while they also need to cover the future departure of Ibrahima Konate. The Frenchman is also out of contract this summer and looks likely to leave - any new signing must be an able replacement.

But on top of that, Liverpool would want any possible arrival to be a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. This, ultimately, is why they were willing to pay £35m for one year of Guehi - they view him in that calibre.

Konate potentially leaving forces them to need two centre-backs at that level, however. None of them are going to come cheap but at this stage, it's a necessity.

It'll take a massive transfer, potentially moving past the £75m spent on Van Dijk in 2018. Exactly who Liverpool move for is less clear.

But the mega transfer is coming. It simply has to.
