While Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, that doesn’t mean the English side are immune from the financial pressures of the pandemic.
As such, the club have only managed to make one notable signing this summer – the £36m signing of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig – and won’t likely make any more unless they can raise funds from player sales.
Taiwo Awoniyi has already been sold to Union Berlin for £5.85m and Wilson’s departure to Fulham will surely be the start of a longer process of cashing in on squad players that are no longer needed at Anfield.
