Caution first, always. That, at least, seems to be FSG’s favorite maxim on the transfer front, with Liverpool pulling out of the race to sign

LOSC Lille defender Leny Yoro, signed for Manchester United in a deal rising to £59m.

Liverpool didn’t feel that they could justify signing an 18-year-old for such a sum, however talented. Moreover, Arne Slot’s side was unable to offer assurances regarding playing time, and thus the deal was dead.

Whether this was the right call remains to be seen, but while fans rail against the inactivity in the market,

sporting director Richard Hughes stresses that signings will be made, just not right now, for Slot is still inculcating his philosophy into the Reds’ first team.

Signings, however, are needed, especially given that Liverpool’s talented

squad fell short in the race for multiple titles last season, during Jurgen Klopp’s swansong.
