Once Liverpool had seen a bid worth up to just over £6.5m accepted for Calvin Ramsay, the message from inside Anfield was clear. The Scotland Under-21s international would be the last addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad this summer.
Parting with an initial fee just over £4m for the 18-year-old, it took Liverpool’s immediate spending to just over £73m after also agreeing deals for Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho. With sporting director Julian Ward tasked with refreshing the team's attack, in consideration of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all being the wrong side of 30 and out of contract in 2023, club bosses were left more than happy with their incoming business.
By signing the two forwards and a right-back understudy for Trent Alexander-Arnold, having also brought in Luis Diaz back in January, club sources confirmed Liverpool had signed exactly what they felt needed and wanted when setting out their plans for the summer earlier in the year. With confirmation for Ramsay following on Sunday, the Reds had successfully managed to complete their summer business with two weeks to go until the start of pre-season. A job well done by all.
