After the 265 million pounds surge, where does Liverpool’s money come from? How well does Fenway calculate?

Liverpool invested 265 million pounds this summer, shocking the Premier League. In the eyes of many people, this club, which was once "purchased", seemed to have become a "big rich man" overnight. But in fact, Liverpool's investment is not "spending money like soil", but a precise and well-planned "capital battle".

1. FSG is not lacking in money, but has always been "actuarant"

Fenway Sports Group (FSG) is not short of funds. Their strategy has always been "prudent and rational". As early as 2018, they spent a lot of money on Van Dijk and Allison to build a championship team for Klopp; and the midfield reconstruction in 2023 helped the team win the Premier League again.

But the reason why this year's transfer operation is particularly radical is that the time is ripe: Slot replaced Klopp and the management reorganization was completed. FSG judged that this is the best window for reshaping the team's structure.

2. Why do you dare to spend money now?

The reason why Liverpool quickly spent hundreds of millions of pounds is because there is enough room for fiscal and Premier League profits and sustainable development rules (PSR). The operation of the 2023-24 season basically "0 investments + league championships" has not only won huge prizes, but also made more room for spending.

In addition, Liverpool ended its fiscal year early in May and took the lead in PSR calculations, while other Premier League teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal often do not make room for funds until June or even July, which also allows Liverpool to take the lead in taking the lead.

3. "Spend money" does not mean "burning money"

Every signing from Liverpool has clear plans and financial logic. For example, signing Wiltz seems to be awkwardly high £116 million, but the fee will be amortized in the account for five years, only more than £20 million a year. At the same time, the profits brought by the youth training players they sold, such as Kelleh, Kanssa and Dias, were all included in the revenue at one time, forming a "net profit".

FSG can even spend £150 million without selling its main players without touching the PSR red line.

4. Slott's "low-key + high-energy" chemical reaction

The pragmatic style of the new coach Slott also adds points to Liverpool's operations this summer. He did not have the tough attitude of "needing people", but instead fully developed existing resources tactically. For example, transforming Grevenbach into No. 6 is a great trick.

This doubles the trust of the club management in it and is willing to invest a lot of money in a sure goal.

5. Isaac is the ultimate dream?

In addition to previous signings, it is no secret that Liverpool's interest in Newcastle striker Isaac is. If the potential £120 million deal comes true, Liverpool won’t need to “sell property” – because they have already reserved plenty of room for big deals.

Financially, the installment payment + amortization mechanism allows Liverpool to maintain a balanced book even if they sign another person. In terms of operation, Michael Edwards returns to the helm, and Slott's pragmatism and FSG's endorsement, Liverpool has the ability to "get big points" again.

Liverpool is not "becoming rich", but "always able to settle accounts". Instead of blindly imitating Manchester City-style money-burning, they chose to complete the reconstruction in one go at the most appropriate time. Now, they can not only afford it, but also understand that perhaps another cycle of Premier League overlords is coming.
