Liverpool were quiet in the last transfer window, well much quieter than they were expected to be. The Reds have this season seen the squad devastated by injuries and the lack of depth exposed. A big summer is needed. Liverpool could well land their dream signing if a reported £540m deal with RedBird Capital goes through.
Liverpool need big buys
This season had emphasised the need for an overhaul.
The current squad is too thin and too injury prone to compete.
We need to beef up the group with more reliable players and add more quality to our depth.
There is a need for a centre back and a striker as well as a replacement for Gini Wijnaldum.
Whilst money will be raised by selling fringe players these sales won’t fully fund the necessary rebuild.
Liverpool and RedBird Capital
According to Sportico, Liverpool owners FSG are in talks with RedBird Capital.
The investment group are allegedly in talks with FSG about acquiring 10% of the Reds’ holding company for around £540m.
The news comes hot on the heels of a collapsed deal between FSG and RedBall – Billy Beane’s SPAC.
The deal means that FSG value Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC at over £5bn.
Liverpool and RedBird Capital
This summer the Reds will need money.
Liverpool could well land one of their dream signings thanks to the RedBird deal.
£540m is a huge chunk of money and whilst it won’t all go directly into Liverpool’s coffers it will go a long way to convincing FSG to pull out the chequebook.
Kylian Mbappe could be on the move and we’ll need a decent amount of money to take him away from PSG. RedBird could well hold the key.
