Liverpool is reportedly facing crazy money to land two rumored transfer targets from Brighton this summer.
The Reds may need to make some changes to their team this summer, especially amid fears about Mohamed Sarah’s future.
Egypt International looks likely to become a free agent, so if they don’t sign a new contract they will have to replace it with a world-class offensive player.
According to Talksport, one of the names of the LFCs in attack is Joao Pedro from Brighton, but his asking price could reach £100 million.
According to Talksport, Carlos Baleba could also be much more expensive, and he is another player recently linked as Liverpool’s target in a report from the Football Insider.
Liverpool certainly can’t pay crazy Brighton
It’s not often seen Liverpool really beating cash under the big names, so if you really want these important figures in Brighton, this certainly isn’t good news for the Merseyside giant.
Still, as Talksport suggests, Seagulls chief Tony Bloom is undoubtedly encouraged by the fact that he sold Moises Caiceco to Chelsea for over £100 million.
What kind of boon does the Blues probably benefit Liverpool?
Chelsea also recently raided Brighton for other key players like Mark Culera and Robert Sanchez.
This means Brighton is currently in a rather strong financial situation and does not rely on further players’ sales.
Liverpool would be better off adding top young talent like Pedro and Valeva to their team this summer, but they might be better off looking elsewhere.
League leaders could potentially limit spending in the windows of the upcoming summer, given that they could end up losing star names such as Sarah, Trent Alexander Arnold and Virgil Vandic Dick for free.
