He must be really worth the amount for Liverpool to have agreed to pay that much for him during this time when Liverpool are doing so much to cut expenses and manage money. It will be very good if as a player, he is able to fit in really quickly and not struggle to find a place in the team and play to full potential like the way Gakpo and Darwin Nunez struggled to fit in. Liverpool were able to survive last season and still managed to qualify for win European competition, this season will be a season where they try to win that competition and also qualify for the Champions League next season while they still contest to win the Premier League. They are a team that can do it, they have the players and the coach.
When it comes to summer targets, or player signings. Liverpool do not waste time at all. What liverpool does is match your offer; you accept or decline; and they move on; i do not think Liverpool bid 2 times for a plyer. it is a strategy that has always worked. For Vam Dijk, for Allison, even Salah; and recently for Gakpo and Nunez.
Gakpo and Nunez has not been a bad signing, they have good numbers and will do better in the coming season. Smart deal for Liverpool, paying Szoboszlai release clause and moving on to the next summer target.
