Liverpool ready to spend £200m with first offer MADE

Liverpool are reportedly ready to spend an incredible amount of money. The first offer is in.

Liverpool are set for one of the biggest summers in their history. There have been other special ones before, of course, with 2018 standing out as a game-changing one.

The Reds spent big to get Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Naby Keita, having signed Virgil van Dijk in January. Liverpool would win the UEFA Champions League the following season and then the Premier League.

The difference here is that Liverpool are heading into a massive summer having already won the Premier League. They believe there’s more to come from this group, however.

Or at least, the core of this group. There will be plenty of outgoings this summer as Liverpool attempt to overhaul the squad in Arne Slot’s image.

The achievements this season, after all, came with Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Things will be different going forward.

Liverpool aren’t just making a token effort, either. They’re going all out, emboldened by Slot’s work to date.

And that should see a gigantic spend.

Liverpool to spend over £200m

Reports suggest Liverpool are settled on the two full-backs they want: Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. The former is a fairly straightforward one, too.

Frimpong has reportedly completed a medical at Liverpool. All that’s really left is the fee, which will be just shy of £30m thanks to a release clause in the player’s contract.

Kerkez is more complicated. Bournemouth want £45m for the player but Liverpool aren’t sure about paying all of that. Perhaps they’d be happy to get there through milestones and bonuses but as a guaranteed figure? We’re not sure.

Still, Kerkez is the player they’re after and the one they’re trying to sign.

And that’s not all. Liverpool also hope to grab Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Fabrizio Romano suggests they’re willing to wait to get that one done, putting off other transfers outside of the full-backs.

But that’s the major story here. Liverpool want to grab Frimpong and Kerkez before signing Wirtz. The plan is to drop a little over £200m on the three, with Leverkusen holding out for €150m, per Sky Sports.
