Liverpool say two transfers have ‘a price’ as Jurgen Klopp sends stark message
Liverpool will still be able to sign the players they want thanks to Jurgen Klopp, says ex-Chelsea star Tony Cascarino
“LOTS OF GAMES TO PLAY” | JÜRGEN KLOPP GOES FORWARD IN THE TOP FOUR
Former Chelsea star Tony Cascarino has explained why he thinks a lack of Champions League football won’t stop Liverpool from signing the players they want.
The Reds face an uphill battle to finish in the Premier League’s top four this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side are 10 points from fourth place and have already played half of their league games this season.
On the transfer front, Jude Bellingham, Matheus Nunes and Moises Caicedo are the three names that continue to be strongly associated with a move to Anfield. And uncertainty over the club’s Champions League future has raised doubts about players willing to sign for Liverpool. However, Cascarino does not share this view. The former Chelsea star believes the loss of Sadio Mane and Gini Wijnaldum has hurt Liverpool in recent years but still believes the club can attract top players to the club thanks to Klopp.
“I think Klopp will get some funding to challenge and buy the players I think he needs,” Cascarino told Talksport.
“It comes at a price, some of the players Liverpool let go. Mane has his price, Wijnaldum has his price and I think there will be a slight wind of change at Liverpool next season.
“Getting Diaz and Jota back adds more to the forward line. And yes, you will have injuries next season, it doesn’t mean you have an injury-free season because you don’t.
“So I’m optimistic about where they are after this summer. Both clubs [Liverpool and Chelsea] will be in a good position to face Man City, Man United and Arsenal again.
“The top six are very strong now.”
Cascarino added: “If you liked what you saw from Liverpool you would say, ‘I want to pay for him [Klopp].
“Like people want to play for Pep [Guardiola] and Fergie and [Jose] Mourinho. There are always players who want to play for certain coaches. And there will definitely be players at Liverpool who want to play for Klopp.”
