Liverpool and Richard Hughes considering ridiculous €100m spend Liverpool could seal a ridiculous €100m spend if a reported deal goes through. Liverpool needed a new left-back last summer and so went and spent more on a full-back than they’d ever previously spent. The record, in fact, had only been set a month earlier with Jeremie Frimpong signing from Bayer Leverkusen - but they broke it anyway.

That was to sign Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. He cost them £40m ( Guardian ) - a large fee but one that, hopefully, secured a player who could hold down the role for a long time to come. Only, it seems that Liverpool are ready to ‘replace’ Kerkez in that role .

They’re now aiming to sign another left-back for even more money . Pushing the overall spend on left-backs beyond €100m in the course of two summer windows. Sport Witness relay a piece from Bild that once again suggests Liverpool are lining up a move for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nathaniel Brown.

He’d cost around €60m were he to leave in the summer and competition is quite fierce. But is that a wise spend? Over €100m on left-backs?
