Liverpool are hoping to become the best in the transfer market at sales after the return of Michael Edwards
Waving goodbye to a familiar face is rarely as exciting as saying hello to someone new. But, in terms of the transfer window, it can be just as important.
It's what made Edwards such a success within the sustainable model FSG have sought to pursue since taking over as Liverpool owners almost 14 years ago, and what made the Reds' transfer approach under former manager Jurgen Klopp the envy of so many other clubs, if not always quite to the taste of supporters - and at times Klopp himself - who would rather the purse strings were loosened to push through certain moves.
That, though, doesn't paint the full picture. In the last four years, that average has crept up to more than £60m, while last year the net spend was in excess of £90m. Danny Ward , Dominic Solanke , Danny Ings and Rhian Brewster remain the standout sales, often with sell-on clauses attached. None were first-team regulars.
Indeed, his influence is already being felt, with Liverpool wanting £20m for Sepp van den Berg after the centre-back's impressive season on loan at Mainz in the Bundesliga. While the player believes he is being priced out of a move, the Reds are adamant the market dictates the figure is the going rate for the player.
