FSG are desperately trying to secure a $700m signing - while Mo Salah admits there's no contract on the table for him. Should Liverpool fans be asking questions?

Liverpool fans might have noticed that there's an awful lot of FSG news doing the rounds. Little of it has to do with them spending on the Reds.

Instead, it's them spending on the Red Sox. They're looking to revitalise their team and that means putting money on the table for some of the biggest free agents in the game.

Now, this comes at a time when spending is a hot topic at Anfield. Liverpool signed no first-XI players in the summer, only bringing in a goalkeeper who they left out on loan and Federico Chiesa - and the latter isn't thriving.

On top of that, Liverpool still haven't agreed terms with any of their star players. All three of Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold are out of contract in June.

In fact, they can agree on terms with a non-English club from January 1st. That's barely a month away.

There are seemingly no such concerns in Boston, however.

FSG ready $700m deal

Newsweek is one of many outlets reporting that FSG and the Red Sox have upped their offer for Juan Soto. The free agent is the hottest property left on the free agent market - and he's chasing a lot of money as some of the game's richest teams compete for his signature.

We're talking $700m, per Sports Illustrated. Soto is chasing that over a 15-year deal, taking him into his 40s.

That's got to ring bells for Liverpool fans. The Reds are huffing and puffing over giving Salah a new deal now that he's 32 (admittedly, 33 by the time his deal expires).

Should Liverpool offer Mo Salah a new contract?

But in the States, FSG are ready to sanction a far bigger offer for a star player that would pay him very nicely well past his prime. It's quite an unbelievable double standard.

Now, yes, it's two different sports we're talking about. Still, there are parallels as we've got two teams looking to compete, trying to sign elite players with massive reputations.

One FSG team is willing to pay what it takes to secure the star. The other is legitimately toying with the idea of letting arguably the world's most in-form player walk for nothing.

Make it make sense.
