Liverpool's massive £100m deals done, now for something new

Liverpool have completed their massive £100m deals and it's now time for something new at Anfield.

Liverpool are searching the transfer market right now for deals to move them up a level. The Reds suffered a disappointing campaign last time out and it's clear that change is necessary.

Of course, sacking Arne Slot and hiring Andoni Iraola goes a long way to achieving that. Still, the squad feels light - especially after losing so many key players this summer on the back of a campaign that already made the squad look light.

And so Liverpool are shopping at the moment. They've signed Victor Munoz, of course, and tried for Yan Diomande but the player picked Paris Saint-Germain.

Now they've moved on, with links to Adam Wharton and Bradley Barcola. Two players who would, if the selling clubs get their way, cost over £100m.

We've written before that the Wharton price, wildly inflated by Elliot Anderson's move to Manchester City, is simply too much. The same goes for Barcola, who just isn't a £100m player when compared to his peers.

But all of this really shows where Liverpool are going wrong. The Reds are trying to find a star for massive money but they've already signed those stars.

They spent over £200m on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak to be the superstars who lead the team going forward. Surely the following signings should be to supplement them?

And those transfers do not cost £100m. Look at Bayern Munich: they dropped £100m on Harry Kane and then supported him with Luis Diaz and Michael Olise.

Neither player cost £100m. Diaz was an opportunistic signing at around €60m. Olise cost the same.

That's the market Liverpool should be shopping in. The 'guarantees' have already arrived and this summer should be about a new strategy - finding the right fit to play alongside the superstars.

Munoz is a great start in that sense. Now Liverpool should be finding the midfielders and the wingers to compliment things further - and those players should not cost anywhere near £100m.
