Liverpool Accelerating Move For The “Perfect CF”

It was Just Over Two Years ago That Liverpool Ended Their Pursuit of a Certain Jude Bellingham, With The Time Indicating That The Potential Cost of Signing The Englishman – Set to Be Over £ 100m – Had Proven Too Much Of An Obstacle to Any Deal.

Perhaps There More To The Story There, Howwever, As Mere Months Later, The Reds Launched A Mammoth £ 111m Bid For the Signing of Brighton’s Moses Caicedo, Albeit With The Ecuadorian Ultimately Opting to Join Rivals Chelsea Instead.

Despite Jurgen Klopp’s Prior Claims That Had No Interest In Making Such Costly Moves – Something He Later Rowed Back On – That pursuit of Caicedo Indicated, For The Right Player, The Anfield Hierarchy Are Willing To Splash The Cash.

Indeed, the Recent £ 116m Signing of Florian Wirtz Is The Perfect Case in Point, With A Quiet Two Years On The Transfer Front Having to End Statement Fashion.

IF Prior High Profile Deals Are Anything To Go By – Namely The £ 75m Capture Or Virgil van Dijk and The £ 67m Move For Alisson – The Reds Get It Wrong When They Spend Big, With It Set To Be A Worrying Prospect for The Rest Of The Division IF Wirtz Does Swiftly Sparkle on Merseyside.

With The German Genius Likely to Be The Center of A New Era At Anfield, Now Is The Time for Richard Hughes and Co to Build The Perfect Attack Around Him.
