Arne Slot has pushed back on the attention Liverpool's big spending in the transfer market is receiving and instead highlighted the exits he has also had to deal with.

The Reds have seen a great deal of turnover despite winning the Premier League in the Dutchman's first season in charge.

Liverpool broke the British transfer record to land Florian Wirtz for up to £116million and the team's spending has breached £300m with the arrivals of Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

But Slot does not believe that tells the whole story as he deals with the departure of players who played significant roles in bringing a title to Anfield last season.

The Merseyside club have been required to replace and rebuild rather than simply improving their team in recent months.

“What I feel is not being talked about enough - although you have to make your own decision when you talk about it - [is that] I've lost four players that have started regularly,” said Slot.

Luis Diaz was a definite starter, and Trent [Alexander-Arnold] was a definite starter.
