Liverpool FC: Ambition in all arenas
(Baonghean.vn) - Although they only finished in 2nd place in the Premier League when they were surpassed by Man City and lost the Premier League championship this season, defeating Tottenham in the recent Champions League final has brought the team known as "The Reds" a profitable season in the financial field.
With the successes achieved and the "rain" of bonuses, Liverpool will have plenty of money to spend in the 2019 summer transfer market to bring in quality contracts.
Previously, although the championship was in the hands of Man City in the English Premier League, the Merseyside team was the club with the highest revenue in the Premier League.
With a fiery, technical style of play, mixed with German tenacity, it is not surprising that The Kop has a huge fan base: 29 matches of coach Jurgen Klopp and his team were broadcast on television in the UK, the most among the 20 clubs participating in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the rich London team Man City, although the defending champion, only broadcast 26 matches. In total, Liverpool earned 190 million USD in domestic, commercial and international television revenue.

This season, across all competitions, the Anfield team earned approximately $315 million in prize money, television revenue, and commercial revenue. This is the largest reported financial income figure in the club's history to date.
Closing the 2018-2019 season with great success as the Champions League champion, the Anfield team is making long-term preparations for the campaign to conquer all competitions in the following seasons.
The latest move by the Liverpool team is to extend the contract to tie down captain Jurgen Klopp even though there are still 3 years left on the contract. In addition, it is extending the contract with the stars who played impressively last season. In the transfer market, with a deep pocket, Liverpool is actively negotiating to bring quality contracts to Anfield to increase the strength and depth of the squad to consolidate its ambitions.

The targets that have been targeted by the "Red Brigade" include Felipe Anderson (West Ham), De Ligt (Ajax), Nicolas Pepe (Lille), Samuel Chukwueze (Vilarreal), Nabik Fekir (Lyon)... With the abundant financial resources just obtained this season, along with the 6th Champions League championship in history, the position of the port city team Liverpool has been significantly raised.
So it is not surprising that the Anfield team is the destination of many players. Therefore, Liverpool will not have difficulty in negotiating to bring in blockbuster contracts for its long-term plan, and promises to be a real giant to compete equally with Man City, Chelsea, MU, Tottenham in the domestic league, as well as beyond the borders of the foggy country, to be a rival in the European arena with Real, Barca, Juven, Bayern, PSG...
A tough season awaits the reigning European champions. With what they have achieved and their ambitions, whether Liverpool can overthrow Man City in the domestic league, or do what Real did last season, which was to successfully defend the Champions League title... will be a difficult problem for coach Jurgen Klopp and his team. The strength of the reigning Champions League champions will be tested in the European Super Cup match against the reigning Europa League champions (Chelsea) on August 15.
With the position of the king of Europe, the runner-up of the Premier League, Liverpool will certainly be determined for its ambitions in all arenas and promises to have an extremely explosive season./.
