Big money, little football for Liverpool

According to the information released by Forbes magazine, which indicates that Real Madrid is the football team with the most purchasing power in the world, the English institutions appear a couple of rungs below, with Liverpool occupying fourth place with figures of around 4,450 million dollars, money that has done little to help the Anfield side to have a competitive team at the start of this footballing year on the old continent.

Although there are examples where money does not always end up being the sure way to titles, having an extensive capital undoubtedly opens up the possibilities of having better players and with it a better squad that can be capable of facing any team that is put in front of them, failing in the attempt by institutions on the list made by Forbes such as Manchester United and Liverpool.

In the specific case of the Reds, the team has had a poor start to the season in England with nine points from three draws, one defeat and just two wins, with the squad quickly entering a crisis as reinforcements have failed to work and the first-team squad has either dropped off the pace or been hit by injuries.

After six rounds in the Premier League, the fourth most expensive team in the world has left much to be desired, being surpassed until now by institutions that do not even appear in that extensive list revealed by the American magazine. For an example of this it is enough to see their participation against Everton in that goalless draw and their Champions League debut where they lost to Napoli by a landslide.

<strong>Money spent</strong>

The fact that the Reds have money does not mean that they know how to make good signings during the summer and winter sales, proof of this being the purchase of Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez, a player from Benfica who was sold to Anfield for an amount of around 100 million euros, delivering results that have not been as pleasing as initially expected.
