Chelsea paid more money on Lavia and Caicedo than Liverpool did on four midfield players.
JURGEN KLOPP sent Liverpool supporters into a frenzy when he viciously attacked Chelsea over their £173 million signing of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
In the summer, both midfielders rejected Anfield and Klopp in favor of Mauricio Pochettino and Stamford Bridge.
Jurgen Klopp took a brutal swipe at Chelsea over their deals for Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia
Caicedo joined Chelsea in a British transfer record deal but has been unable to steer the club up the table
Romeo Lavia has battled injuries and hasn’t played for the Blues yet.But since moving from Brighton for a British transfer record £115 million, Caicedo has battled with form, and injury-plagued £58 million Lavia hasn’t played since joining from Southampton.Instead, Liverpool paid £148 million to recruit Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Liverpool’s transformation into the team atop the Premier League table is largely due to this revamped midfield.However, Chelsea has only won five games this season and is currently ranked 12th.And Klopp made a sly jab at the deals during a club test event for Anfield’s new stand. He remarked, “My gosh, were we fortunate between us! That was not known to us at the time.”After realizing that other central defensive midfielders were unwilling to join, you can see what transpires.”A fan expressed how much they enjoyed the roast on social media, writing, “The dig at Caicedo was brilliant haha.”Another replied, “How stupid must Caicedo feel now on his eight-year contract, delighted for him.” Another person said, “Jurgen .”On Sunday, Liverpool plays Manchester United, and 57,000 spectators are anticipated at Anfield for the match.Additionally, the highest tier of the Premier League leaders’ Anfield Road stand will host 7,000 fans on Sunday if a safety certificate is approved.
Upgrading the lower tier will require some little adjustments before the total capacity is increased to 61,000.The £80 million project was supposed to be finished by the beginning of the season, but the contractors’ bankruptcy caused a delay.
Liverpool may feel they have had better value for money from the midfielders they did sign
