Liverpool have just made £2m as ‘unbelievable’ former player completes transfer

Liverpool are still yet to make any concrete steps this summer regarding either incomings or outgoings.

The Reds are often busy in the early parts of the window, but have so far chosen to stay out of the market completely.

That looks set to change over the coming days and weeks, though. There does appear to be some movement in terms of arrivals as Liverpool prepare to sign Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea.

The exit door at Anfield may also see some action. Trabzonspor and Liverpool have held talks to sell Nat Phillips while bids have been rejected for Sepp van den Berg, too.

With FSG usually relying on making a few sales to boost their transfer kitty, another transfer in European football this July has helped them to do that.

Liverpool earn Kamil Grabara sell-on

Liverpool have done well over the years to make relatively big money on players from the academy.

What they haven’t done so well of until recently is using the youngsters who have arrived at the club from the outside.

As Ngumoha prepares to move he will join a mixture of the best prospects from around the country. The pathway to the Liverpool first-team squad for those talents has been established and looks set to continue.

But back even three or four years ago, that pathway didn’t really exist. Someone who felt that more than most was Polish goalkeeper Kamil Grabara.

The 25-year-old joined Liverpool in 2016 aged just 17. After five years and several loans – including a spell at Huddersfield Town where Grabara was labelled ‘unbelievable‘ – he left for Copenhagen without making an appearance.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool sold Grabara to the Danish club for around £3m. Crucially, the Reds also reportedly inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause into the deal.

Having become a key player for FC Copenhagen, the Poland international completed a move to Wolfsburg at the start of July.

The two clubs are said to have agreed a transfer with a fee of £11.4m last year, but it has only just gone through.

As a result, it’s claimed that Liverpool will bank £2m or so from Grabara’s sale which will now go into the coffers at Anfield.

Kamil Grabara is still one to watch

It’s always nice to see former Liverpool youngsters go on and have good careers of their own.

Although Grabara never quite made the grade at Anfield, he was always very obviously a talented goalkeeper.

Had things gone a different way, it’s easy to see how Caoimhin Kelleher and Grabara’s fates at Liverpool could have been swapped. Grabara is arguably the more accomplished ‘keeper these days.

With Kelleher looking to move on and rumours about Alisson Becker and Saudi Arabia continuing to arise, perhaps the Pole is one to watch for Liverpool fans.

Still only 25, if he can do well at Wolfsburg and Alisson pushes to leave next summer, for example, Grabara could end up back at Liverpool having taken the scenic route.

Something to consider and certainly a player to keep track of.
