FSG transfer reality becomes clear as Liverpool set for £115m boost
Last season for Liverpool was something of a strange one. Fighting on all four fronts until the very last day, the quadruple was within their grasp it seemed. Having bagged both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, a Champions League final and Premier League title shootout with Manchester City stood between the Reds and footballing immortality.
