Klopp reacted to massive Chelsea spending in transfer market following Lukak’s deal
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has slammed the spending power of Chelsea in the transfer market, as he believes that clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City and PSG are spending beyond their means.
Chelsea have only signed Romelu Lukaku so far this season as the club broke its transfer record to sign the Belgian for £97.5m
However, Klopp has questioned the move as his side only signed Ibrahima Konate for just £36m.
“We all know the situation of Chelsea, City and PSG for example, for United I don’t know how they do it, but we have our way to do it,” Klopp told a press conference ahead of Liverpool’s season-opener against Norwich City.
“That was always the same, we can spend, we are allowed to spend the money we earn, that’s what we always did. This year we spent even before we earn money on Ibrahima Konate because after last season it was clear we cannot take any risks in this position at all.
“That’s our situation, it’s not about me being surprised, I am never surprised by the financial power of Chelsea or City or United, I’m long enough in the country to know they always find a solution to do these kind of things.
“For us, it’s our way. we keep the team together, that’s an important part of business as well. I knows its not as exciting as signing players to the outside world but the summer is always the same, people think if you don’t sign you don’t work. That is not the case.”
