Well, previously Liverpool was the only team interested in signing Antony Gordon but unfortunately the Reds were unable to pay the fee desired by Newcastle and it seemed that these negotiations were considered complete. Now it's Manchester City's turn to get the services of this 23 year old player and it looks like Manchester City has no problems being able to get him easily.
Liverpool seems to have a slow transfer window this year, with many rumors suggesting their transfer targets are choosing other clubs because their offer is just too cheap. I guess the money ball principle is still going strong with Edwards in charge, but if there are no results it would start drawing questions from their fans. Maybe they will prioritize securing new contracts for key players this window and rely on Slot's abilities to develop young players. Who knows, if they want to be competitive they should spend a little bit more imo.
