Liverpool transfers: Kimmich, Olise, Yoro - Summer window has been bizarre so far

To bring him to Anfield, you would’ve had to make him a top earner. The Reds are usually reluctant to do that unless the player has delivered for the club. So a move for him could’ve potentially caused issues with contracts. 

A hat-trick of public failures

It isn’t a surprise to see Liverpool interested in what would be an opportunistic signing. But with the player reportedly set on a move to Real Madrid, why are those on Merseyside waiting around to discover the outcome of this?

We’ve seen what happened with Jude Bellingham and Aurlien Tchouameni. Why make it a hat-trick of public failures when there are others out there who might want to join the project at Anfield? 

This is a big transfer window for Liverpool. It shapes the new era under Michael Edwards, Richard Hughes and Arne Slot. As things stand, it is looking a little confused.
