If you or anyone around you claims to have known about this months before the actual deal, it would be a massive LOL – Lie Out Loud!

Jurgen Klopp’s entire Liverpool conglomerate had a unique and once in a lifetime two days of football. Something like an eclipse that occurs every 100 years or so.

While the Reds were busy prepping for the FIFA Club World Cup competition and the Carabao Cup, Micheal Edwards and the transfer committee were secretly busy making way with some great business.

The transfer for one of the Champions League group stages star was not only sudden but furthermore, it was dirt cheap. A player of his calibre would go up for sale between £30m to £60m, easily. However, Edwards managed to snatch the player for a minimal fee of £7.5m.

Adding to this, when the Reds are linked to a play for a long time duration, it ends up being a big hoax. But like this one, when the Reds act swift, silent, and stern, they end up successful transfers.
