LIVERPOOL plan to continue spending the big bucks in order to compete with the likes of
Manchester United, says Anfield chief Peter Moore.
Liverpool are busy at work as they attempt to strengthen Jurgen Klopp's squad and prepare
to challenge on four fronts next season.
Fabinho and Naby Keita have already been welcomed through the door in deals worth more than
£90m combined this summer.
Fabinho and Keita join a playing roster which already boasts the world's most expensive
defender in Virgil van Dijk.
While Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move that would see Alisson Becker replace
Ederson as the priciest goalkeeper on the planet.
Liverpool chief executive officer Moore has now revealed the Reds will plough whatever
money they can into making signings.
"We're in a world now where if you're not a £500m football team you're not going to
win anything," Moore told the International Business Festival, as reported by the Liverpool
Echo.
"Our primary focus for every pound, Euro, dollar we make is to give it to Jurgen Klopp
and our scouting staff and our sporting director and say go buy the best players, go find the
next Mohamed Salah.
"This doesn't come cheap.
It's a high-stakes game.
It requires revenue coming in all the time."
Moore accepts Liverpool bringing in cash from fans across the globe will rub local supporters
up the wrong way.
But he says it is a necessity if Liverpool are to be contenders in the modern era.
"This is a city at times that doesn't like the fact that football is a business," added
Moore.
Moore also believes fans travelling to Merseyside to watch Liverpool can have benefits for the
city, not just
the club.
