Liverpool is acknowledged as favorites for the Premier League title after winning last season. Despite a considerable investment of almost 300m on new players, head coach Arne Slot emphasizes that the perception of them as extravagant spenders is misleading, noting their net spend over the last two seasons is not favorable. The focus is on performance rather than spending, with uncertainty stemming from the departure of key players and the need to evaluate the strength of the current squad. Competing for every trophy remains the club's ambition.
The portrayal of Liverpool as lavish spenders, insists Slot, is misleading. The net spend of us compared to the other teams is not in our favour.
It's completely normal that we are one of the favourites, because we won it last season and we brought in good players. Like all the other teams did, by the way.
Slot believes it is premature to say Liverpool's squad represents an upgrade on last season.
The ambitions haven't changed, because the ambition of this club is always to compete for every trophy.
