Transfers

One image says it all, the real LFC:

Chelsea snagged Moises Caicedo away from Liverpool on an eight-year deal after agreeing to a British record £115 million, and then also signed Romeo Lavia for £58 million out from under Liverpool. If you're wondering why Fernandez is on there too, Liverpool could have had him last summer... but passed. Oof.

If you're wondering about all of this spending and Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, here's a nice breakdown on how Todd Boehly doesn't care:
