Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has dismissed any suggestions of a change in transfer strategy from his side this summer, insisting that the Reds have spent similar amounts on players in the past if adjusted for inflation.
And he says it was necessary to go as big as Liverpool has this summer because of several factors.
"There is no level above Liverpool so at a club like Feyenoord, the players who perform really well make the next step in their career.
They either go to the Premier League or to La Liga, or somewhere else.
"At a club like Liverpool, it is quite normal that players stay where they are.
But I think people tend to forget at the moment, you mentioned $300M spent, but people are forgetting how much money we brought in not only this summer, but also last summer.
"Last summer, we had a big plus.
Normally teams only spend and never sell."
While Liverpool has spent around $300M already this summer, it has brought back around half of that in player sales
