Liverpool boss Arne Slot has made his stance clear on the club's spending policy, claiming the club "never hesitate" to splash the cash despite accusations that owners FSG have been frugal with their money since taking over the club.

The Reds are having a huge summer of spending as they approach £300million following massive buys, the latest being £79m on Hugo Ekitike, who joined after Liverpool shelled out a British record fee of £116.5m on Bayer Leverksen playmaker Florian Wirtz.

Those two deals alone show that FSG and the newly minted Premier League champions mean business this summer.

Liverpool have also brought full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez through the door- and there could be yet another big-money transfer amid reports that they are willing to go all out for the £150m-rated Alexander Isak.

It seemed Liverpool had signed Ekitike instead of Isak after being informed Newcastle would not sell their star striker.

But with the player informing his club that he wants to explore his options this summer, a mega-money transfer could yet happen.

This bumper spending spree marks a major change in direction for FSG, who still cannot be accused of failing to bring big names to Anfield considering the lucrative signings of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson in the past.

There is a real opportunity for Liverpool to build on their Premier League title triumph and create a dynasty in the top flight, even though they only needed just one new signing to pip their rivals to the crown last year.

But Slot, speaking before Liverpool's pre-season tour of Asia, said their summer splurge shows they will spent money when the opportunity is there.

“I always say, another thing about Liverpool is that if we see a chance in the market, we never hesitate to bring someone in,” the Dutchman said.

None of those campaigns have compared to the huge spending power Liverpool have shown off this summer - evidence that FSG chiefs are ready to back Slot after their superb title win and help him win even more silverware.

The previous year fans flew a banner over Anfield during a clash against Tottenham which read "FSG out" over a lack of investment when they were managed by Jurgen Klopp.

For now, Liverpool fans will have little to complain about, especially if their pursuit of Isak proves to be successful.
