Whoever takes over from Jurgen Klopp will inherit a Liverpool squad that has undergone a major overhaul in the transfer window. Defense is the only sector that needs preparation for the future, but the heir to the German throne even won the Jarell Quanza Award to address this need.
There is a good chance that the academy graduate will eventually become Virgil van Dijk’s successor, and that would be a huge bonus. Meanwhile, Conor Bradley has shown first-team potential and Ibrahima Konate could become a mainstay in Liverpool’s defense for years to come.
However, new managers are often keen to make their mark on the team with a few signings. It’s almost like putting two and two together to make five, but Bayer Leverkusen players have been tipped to sign for Liverpool if Xabi Alonso replaces Klopp, with Florian Wirz one of the most attractive players.
The playmakers won’t come cheap, but Liverpool are expected to have significant maneuverability in terms of profitability and stability. Like many other clubs, the Reds have not been active in the January transfer window, but unlike many of their rivals, this has not been due to concerns about meeting Premier League demands.However, the rules can change. According to Sky Sports, the two clubs have met to discuss the changes, which will take effect from the start of the summer.
This normally brings the Premier League into line with UEFA rules, which require clubs to spend only a certain percentage of profits on transfers, agents and wages. As a participant in European competitions, Liverpool must comply with these rules. However, domestic proposals could still introduce the requirement earlier, with UEFA phasing in the 70% cap from 2025/26.Football Insider estimates that, based on this 70% figure and Liverpool’s latest Deloitte Football Money League earnings, the maximum amount Klopp’s successor could spend on transfer fees, wages and expenses is £524 million dollars (415 million euros). Agent fee. Most of that goes to the payroll, which currently stands at about $330 million.That leaves around $194m (£154m/€180m) for transfer fees and agent fees. Of course, it will be up to FSG to decide whether Liverpool will reach that figure, but under the new proposed rules, it would be a rough limit. And at least under UEFA rules, the ceiling will drop to 70%.
