Klopp Unsurprised By Premier League Rivals’ Financial Power

Klopp Unsurprised By Premier League Rivals’ Financial Power

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is not surprised by the financial power of their Premier rivals.

Klopp says the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United have always found solutions in every transfer window and he is unperturbed about that.

Liverpool have been dormant in the ongoing summer transfer window but their rivals are busy bolstering their squad ahead of the 2021/2022 season.

Manchester City recently smashed the British transfer record by signing Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for £100million and are still monitoring the current situation of striker Harry Kane at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Chelsea completed the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan on Thursday and are still working around the clock to secure the services of Sevilla’s Jules Kounde.

Manchester United on the other hand have also recruited Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid. Head coach OIe Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed in his press conference on Thursday that there is still a possibility of bringing new faces to Old Trafford.

Ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League opener at Norwich on Saturday, Klopp was asked about the Reds’ rivals’ activities in the transfer window.

"I'm never surprised about the financial power of City, Chelsea or United. I've been in the country long enough to know they always find a solution to do these things. For us, it's our way. We keep the team together, that's important as well. I know it's not as exciting as signing new players,” he said.

"People think that if you don't sign, you don't work - that's not the case. We are constantly thinking short term and long term - what can we do? How will the team look this year and next? I know it's not as exciting, but if you're a real Liverpool fan you're excited about the news the club delivered in the last few weeks - Allison's new contract, same with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho and Virgil Van Dijk. Others will follow, so that's great.

"It's not as spectacular but it's great news - if other teams wanted to sign these players they'd have to pay a lot of money and we have them already. We have a good squad together and are in a better situation than we were last year. Let's try to build on that and see where we end up."
