We needed so much more… Gary Neville questions Liverpool’s sellable assetsLiverpool are losing Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson on free transfers in the summer.That means at least two signings need to be made before the club even considers strengthening elsewhere, which they need to do.But if Slot’s comments about selling to buy are true, Neville is unsure which current stars could actually be sold.Speaking on Stick to Football this week, he said: “Arne Slot, there’s a quote after the game, which I watched his interview this morning. I just thought last night, I don’t know if I’m reading too much into it, and whether it’s out of context, but it’s the idea that in the summer they’ll have to sell to buy.

I’m thinking, who could you sell?”What may not help Liverpool in the market this summer is a lack of Champions League prize money in 2026/27.At present, they are on course to clinch the fifth and final place, but with a tricky end to the season coming up, there are no guarantees they will be in Europe’s top-tier competition next term.Rousing The Kop have previously spoken to finance expert Adam Williams about Liverpool’s transfer budget without Champions League football.Explaining the financial position of the club, he said: “Let’s say their transfer debt is now £300m, of which £150m is due next season. That’s £725m in free cash that you need for the season, before you make any new signings.“As an absolute minimum, they’d be looking at £60m in prize money from the Champions League.

With those factored in, they can afford to cover their expenses without taking on more debt or asking the owners for money.“So, yes, no Champions League football is going to have an impact, but it’s not going to mean you can’t still do a decent amount of business, depending on how you structure your transfer dealings. If you get into the Europa League, you get a half-decent amount of prize money, plus matchday income, so I think they could still spend pretty significantly if they achieved that.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
