The failure of sobbing can actually be good news for Liverpool championship plans

Gilabola.com – The news of the rejection of Liverpool’s offer to Alexander sobs from Newcastle United became one of the big news in the football transfer market this summer.

Offer of Rp 2.4 trillion submitted Communists Reportedly immediately rejected, and a report said the Merseyside club decided not to return with the second offer.

However, behind the failure, there is a belief that this step actually opens the way for Arne Slot to form a more balanced team to maintain the Premier League title next season.

The slot, which replaced Jurgen Klopp, immediately brought Liverpool league champions in the inaugural season 2024/2025, although only brought in Federico Chiesa in addition to the squad in the summer.

This time, the Dutch coach made a large reshuffle, with shopping close to Rp 6.5 trillion. Two new names, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitice, have strengthened the attack line, and Liverpool appear to be big ambitions in the transfer window this time.

Why fail to get sobs can be a blessing

Sobs are referred to as one of the best attackers of the Premier League last season, and Liverpool’s offer was predicted to break the British transfer record if raised. However, the very high price is considered to interfere with the player’s recruitment plan in another position.

Liverpool actually appeared dominant last season, closing the league with 84 points and 10 points ahead of Arsenal. However, there is a gap in the squad that is clearly visible. Ryan Gravenberch, for example, was forced to play deeper in midfield. His performance had shone in the first half of the season, but declined afterwards.

In addition, the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid has eliminated one of the club’s best feeders, and Luis Diaz who went to Bayern Munich made the left wing side shortage of options.

If all funds are allocated for sobs, the slot might lose the opportunity to improve other sectors that are more urgent. This situation opens a new discussion, that refraining from expensive transfers can actually provide greater flexibility to strengthen teams in various lines.

Other transfer options that Liverpool can run

Some reports mention the name Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace as a potential target. The defensive midfielder is believed to have the ability to distribute balls that can increase variations of Liverpool attacks. He can also be a rotation for gravenberch or even duet with him in certain matches.

Liverpool are also said to be interested in Palace central defender, Marc Guehi, whose remaining contract is one year left. Although Palace demands Rp 1.1 trillion, the funds that were prepared for sobs can be easily transferred for this transfer.

In addition, the name Rodrygo from Real Madrid is also associated with Liverpool. The transfer of Brazilian players will certainly be expensive, but funds that are not used for sobs can be used to bring it.

With conditions like this, Liverpool will still remain a favorite of the Premier League champions next season, regardless of whether they managed to bring sobs or not.

Arne Slot now has the opportunity to use a more spreading shopping strategy, strengthening midfield, defense, and wing, while maintaining a strong attacking power that has been strong.
