I think Liverpool are not desperate and maybe the choice this time is quite rational even though it can be considered a rush purchase. Liverpool's refusal is actually not a matter of cost because if we talk about costs the two teams have reached an agreement, but the players also determine their future from a weekly salary and Chelsea must be admitted to have a bigger salary offer than that offered by Liverpool. Therefore, when Liverpool competes with Chelsea, of course everything ends with player salaries and we cannot deny that.

Maybe if Liverpool were not only big in terms of fees and the salary offered was also very large, I think players like Caicedo or Romeo Lavia would choose Liverpool. Especially if we look at Chelsea not playing in European competition this season and Liverpool can still compete in the European league. So joining Liverpool should be more profitable and also have the opportunity to finish at the top again.
