Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has dropped a hint he could be about to splash the cash this summer.
The Reds won the Champions League and finished second in the Premier League last season, but Klopp feels he must invest in his squad to keep up with rivals.
‘Liverpool is an ambitious club and if we didn’t spend the same amount of money as others, we wouldn’t be able to compete,’ Klopp told German broadcaster ZDF.

Liverpool are in the market for an attacker to replace Daniel Sturridge, who will leave this summer at the end of his contract.
The Reds have looked at 12 players including former Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore, Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser and Red Bull Leipzig and Germany striker Timo Werner.
They have also been linked with Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt and Real Betis left-back Junior Firpo.
