Under the Premier League rules, Liverpool have acres of headroom, even after their spending in the summer.“For one, they sold well and, on a net basis, their outlay was a lot more modest than many people realise.
The owners have still never put any money into the football side of Liverpool, nor have they taken any out.“What’s more, the money the club spent this summer is amortised, which means only a fifth – or thereabouts, depending on player contract lengths – of the total will hit the bottom line in 2025-26. By extension, the Premier League Squad Cost rules which are coming in from next season at an 85 per cent cap will be no issue either.”Photo credit should read PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty ImagesHow much Liverpool can spend in JanuaryIn terms of a potential January transfer budget, there is money available, but only if FSG are willing to spend.Williams says that the Premier League champions could pay out £100m for new players if they wished.He continued: “Clearly, Liverpool are looking for a centre-back.
They nearly got Guehi in the summer, which suggests that they have the money ready to go. They have a £350m revolving credit facility – which you can basically liken to an overdraft – that they can use if cash flow is tight.
