  • Liverpool head coach Arne Slot defended the club's summer transfer spending, which saw them invest £450m in eight new players, including a British record £125m for Alexander Isak.
  • Slot highlighted that the club recouped nearly £300m from player sales, arguing that critics focused only on the gross spending without acknowledging the net figure.
  • He criticised pundits for what he perceived as favouritism towards other clubs, suggesting they deliberately overlooked Liverpool's significant income from player disposals.
  • Slot explained Liverpool's transfer strategy involves acquiring young players, aged 25 or under, who are considered long-term investments and retain high resale value.
  • The head coach also voiced his dissatisfaction with the current Champions League format, particularly the draw system after the group stage, which he believes can lead to imbalanced fixtures.
