When it comes to getting value for money in the transfer market there are few clubs who have been able to do it as well as Liverpool in recent years.
From Mohamed Salah to Andrew Robertson, from Sadio Mane to Philippe Coutinho, the Reds' more focused and analytical approach to recruitment has paid dividends financially, with players having either achieved their higher ceiling with Liverpool or been sold, in the case of Coutinho's £142m move to Barcelona in January 2018, for a remarkable profit.
It is becoming harder to find those wins, though, and that is one of the reasons for owners Fenway Sports Group considering their longer term strategy with the club, one that will either see them find investment via a new minority partner who may eventually take on the whole club, or selling their majority shareholding to a major bidder of more than $4bn.
