If that is even remotely true, then Salah is out of here. No way FSG sanctions that level of purchase without a major departure.

He is. He’s got his cunt of an agent playing out on social media.
We need 5 or 6 players I reckon. Full new energy in the squad
Fab, Hendo and Thiago will be here next year. I'd love us to get Kone or Thuram but thats not looking likely as Klopp will look to give Steph more minutes. We might even see Morton and Bobby Clark be given minutes.
If the rumours are true, then we will end up with Nunes, Bellers, Mount and Gvardiol that's a £300m spend there. CJ, Nat and Matip leaving which could raise £50m

Contact has been made between Real Madrid and German Jurgen Klopp, 55, over the Liverpool manager replacing their Italian boss Carlo Ancelotti, 63, this summer. (El Nacional - in Catalan)

Add Salah to that list. Probably take it to 100m incoming, 300m outgoing
Probably a good time to cash out but we’ve got nothing on the right and he’s never injured, big boots to fill
came out 22 years ago, where has the time gone?
The song Mr Brightside came out 19 years ago. Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana are on classic rock radio. And I'm turning 40 this year, going on dead.
A fellow 83 child, not looking forward to it either.
So we sell Salah for £50m and replace him with nobody? That's an FSG big brain move alright.
Could it be…. That we’re due to play tgem in a few weeks!!!!
We can expect something about Bellingham favouring Real Madrid… etc, etc…
TBF we're relatively stocked offensively. Everyone's shite unfortunately
Fixed.
Would that make any difference at the moment? He's like nobody playing in that position.
And as teams such and Benfica and Brighton, to name a couple, have demonstrated you don't have to spunk your whole load to get brilliant players. You just need the right scouting and analytical team team in place. And your wits about you, too.
Or stirring trouble for Real Madrid…
Some good news for the summer. From The Times;
Liverpool to back Jürgen Klopp for summer rebuild

Klopp has no intention of walking away from Liverpool and is prepared to revamp his team in the summer
Liverpool are ready to fight back after a dismal season by funding Jürgen Klopp to rebuild his squad in the summer and by hiring a new head of research — a key position in the club’s recruitment operations.
Liverpool are close to naming a successor to Dr Ian Graham, who built the renowned data science department, and whose work informed a number of the club’s transfer coups since he joined the club in 2012. These included the signing of Mohamed Salah from Roma for £34 million, Sadio Mané from Southampton for £36 million and Andy Robertson for £8 million from Hull.
Graham’s number-crunching also helped to steer Liverpool towards the hiring of Klopp himself, in 2015, after analysis suggested Klopp’s final season at Borussia Dortmund — where Dortmund spent time at the bottom of the Bundesliga and finished seventh — was anomalous, given underlying performance indicators.
The figure poised to replace Graham is thought to be working in the game and regarded as a leading operator in the football data field. Graham, a Cambridge University physicist, is working a notice period until May.
Despite misguided speculation to the contrary, Klopp has no intention of walking away from Liverpool — and, indeed, is said to be filled with a renewed energy and desire to revamp his team and “go again”. He has been buoyed by indications he will be given significant resources to overhaul his playing personnel.
With a number of leading players now in their thirties or approaching 30, and the Premier League being led by its youngest team — Arsenal — there is an acknowledgement that younger, fresh blood is needed. The Borussia Dortmund midfield phenomenon, Jude Bellingham, 19 is among Liverpool’s principal targets. They face competition from Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Chelsea for the England star, who is valued at about €150 million (£131 million) by his club. Liverpool are also strongly linked with Wolves’ Matheus Nunes, who would cost about €50 million (£44 million).
Funding a transfer overhaul would also represent a statement of commitment from Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who in November signalled they were open to offers for the club. FSG’s position is that they are continuing to explore new investment.

We’ve already got his password
Yep. Surely some big buys mixed with some players I've never heard of but Benfica's scouts have should work
I would love to be part of this team if given the chance.

Will Spearman is Liverpool FC's new Director of Research.

Promotion from within, again.
[article]Liverpool have appointed Will Spearman as their new director of research ahead of Dr. Ian Graham’s departure at the end of the season.
Joining the Reds in 2018, Spearman had been the club’s lead data scientist, essentially serving as Dr. Graham’s second in command. But he has now been promoted to replace his departing colleague.
Dr. Graham will leave the club in May, having resigned from his role back in November after being appointed director of research at Anfield back in 2012.
Spearman is a Harvard graduate and previously held roles with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland and sports analytics company Hudl in the United States prior to joining Liverpool.
Since joining the Reds, Spearman has been involved in match analysis and recruitment, while his arrival coincided with Jurgen Klopp’s side winning the Champions League in 2019 and ending their 30-year drought to be crowned champions of England in 2020.
Spearman’s current role has a focus on on-pitch statistics and analytics. But by replacing Dr. Graham, he will play a more active role in recruitment and is set to work closely with the likes of Klopp, Liverpool’s next sporting director, and their current scouting and recruitment teams.[/article]

Anyone who's worked for CERN, in my books, is definitely a badass.
Being a part of the team who discovered the Higgs boson particle. Super badass.
