ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYThe trolley dash didn’t have the desired effect as the Reds slumped to fifth in the final standings, but that was still enough to sneak into next season’s Champions League, and fans have now been advised to expect another substantial outlay this summer.Liverpool expected to spend £250m+ in summer transfer windowStefan Borson, former financial adviser to Manchester City, has claimed that Liverpool could spend upwards of £250m before the end of August, but warned that the transfer kitty at Anfield isn’t bottomless.He told Football Insider: “They’re already looking to spend more than I’d imagine they would spend, to be honest with you.“I thought this would be a much quieter summer after last season, but I guess the injuries have changed things, plus Mo Salah leaving and Hugo Ekitike, who will probably miss most of next season. They are going to end up spending £250m minimum, which I’m surprised about.

I don’t think the wage bill is going to come down for next season, that’s for sure. “Liverpool are a very successful club commercially and financially so there’s nothing to worry about, but clearly, as with all these teams, there’s a limit.

Qualifying for the Champions League, along with freeing up around £700,000 per week’s worth of wages from the exits of Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate, strengthens Liverpool’s financial muscle, and player sales later in the summer could also top up the transfer kitty. We wouldn’t be surprised if, when all is said and done, the Reds have invested another £250m or more on new arrivals this summer.
