"I know that we have spent a lot of money in the summer, but it looks like nobody is able to understand that every other Premier League club was adding players to their squad, while we were replacing players in our squad. From the €450m that we spent, I have only been able to use €250m."
Liverpool invested over £400m in summer transfers, including record signings Florian Wirtz (£100m) and Alexander Isak (£125m), plus Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni, Milos Kerkez, and Giorgi Mamardashvili. Despite these significant investments and being reigning champions, the club experienced a poor period from September to November, ending their title defense. Manager Arne Slot attributes the underperformance to new signings failing to adapt and key players being unavailable due to injuries. Slot distinguishes Liverpool's situation from rivals, arguing that while other Premier League clubs added players to existing squads, Liverpool was replacing departing players, limiting the effective use of their €450m expenditure to approximately €250m.
