REVEALED: Liverpool battle for Konate to expose FSG spending plan
Liverpool may walk away from a deal for RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate due to owners FSG's spending limits.
The Times says though Liverpool's interest in the player is concrete, Konate's £34m release clause must be paid in one full sum, rather than in instalments as Liverpool would prefer.
Should Liverpool walk away from the deal, it would only highlight the kind of financial strain the club are under.
It's claimed FSG are insisting Liverpool operate under a 'spend what they make' method.
Management may need to sell a number of assets before a marquee signing is brought in.
