is in sixth place in the
Premier Leaguetable with 22 points after 14 matches. They are 15 points behind leaders Arsenal.
The Reds sold Sadio Mane last summer and then they brought striker Darwin Nunez in a deal that could reach £85 million.
Liverpool chairman Tom Werner recently confirmed that Fenway Sports Group is looking to sell the club. They are also open to a partial sale of their ownership.
After a 3-2 defeat against Manchester City in the EFL cup on Thursday, Jamie Carragher said
Jurgen Klopphas asked club owners to spend at least £200m the next summer.
Carragher said on Sky Sports:
“It’s interesting whether it’s a sale or an investment. I think there’s no doubt that Jurgen Klopp has said to Liverpool’s owners ‘I need £200m-£250m to spend in the summer.
“That sounds like an outrageous figure but that’s what Manchester United and Chelsea spent last summer. So these are the figures that the teams Liverpool are competing with are spending.
“I think probably once in Jurgen Klopp’s tenure have Liverpool really gone for it in the transfer market, I think it was just after the first Champions League final game, they bought a lot of players.
“And I think it needs that now, I think we’re talking about that type of investment. I don’t think FSG have those funds right now and that’s why they’re looking at investment to come in to help them.”
