Liverpool owners FSG had committed to a major £111m deal for Moises Caicedo before it collapsed
After Liverpool failed in their bid to land Moises Caicedo attention understandably turned to where the £111m that was bid could be deployed to.
A move for Romeo Lavia at a £60m valuation fell through in the aftermath of Caicedo, with Chelsea once again stymying Liverpool in their efforts to add to quality and youth to their midfield ranks after something of an exodus during the summer in terms of their options in the middle of the park.
“It is not, from my experience, meaning that you take the fee paid from the money not spent and the gap between that is the money available,” said the German. "I don’t think that is the case and it is not a problem. The likelihood remains that the money is there for the right player, but that right player is likely someone like Aurelien Tchouameni.
Liverpool’s willingness to go in for Caicedo was borne from positive discussions around payment terms to Brighton that were within what the Reds were willing to commit to from an accounting perspective. They also knew that while they were paying top dollar for Caicedo that the 21-year-old likely wouldn’t command the kind of wages that might be associated with such a spend, even though the demands would have been significant.
