LIVERPOOL, Aug 26 ― Liverpool's margin for error in the transfer market is slim compared to their rivals, manager Juergen Klopp said, while acknowledging that it is not easy to work with budget constraints.
Since then, Liverpool have lost as many as six senior players, with former captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho moving to Saudi Pro League clubs, while fellow midfielders Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Naby Keita and forward Roberto Firmino leaving on free transfers. The Merseyside club had strengthened at the back by selling midfielder Coutinho to LaLiga giants Barcelona in 2018 and using the funds to sign Dutch defender and now club skipper Virgil van Dijk before bringing in Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
