I don't mean to sound like I'm having a snide dig here, this is genuine - can Liverpool even afford such figures? I mean, they've got other signings to make too! This seems really excessive.

Truly insane. He'd be getting around the same wages as Pogba, and significantly more than much better defenders. He's a 30m player at best.
Klopp may as well just try and bury the hatchet* with Sakho.
*but not into his face

I thought they had a pretty strict wage structure.
Not surprised to see the James' stories resurface after the Griezmann interest 'cooled'.
Yeah. What happenbed to playing it smart. I´d tell Madrid to go play with themselves. They don´t want him anymore and he has done virtually nothing since the 2014 World Cup. 28 goals in three years. Aubameyang has scored 104 goals for Dortmund over the same timeframe.
Man, if this is true then their fans are going to have a meltdown once they realise they can't bring up net spend as an excuse next season.
Southampton's chairman was pretty firm in his two interviews this year that (a) Van Dijk isn't for sale and (b) they could turn down up to £60m

So if Van Dijk does force his way out, the buying club will need to fork out a lot.
You know there's a difference between a striker and a creative midfielder?
With some departures from our squad, we would probably have enough for another quality CB as well.
Atleast they are investing money properly this time. Their defense is shambles.
Their salary structure gonna blow up after that, can see some of the regulars asking for more money.
Snubbed again!
Jesus this summer seems like a disaster. Sila to City, Griezmann staying and van Dijk off to the scousers.
I'm sure we'll bring in some good players but don't seem to be making any significant progress with any of our targets.

Only if the scousers buy him.
I don't get the love for VVD. Coming off a nasty injury and expensive as hell.
Watch our centre back signing turn out to be Bailly esque.
I agree, just wanted to make it clear it wasn't 70 million £ but €.
People on twitter (united fans) abusing him accusing him of using united to gather interest on the tweet
He's a quality CB nonetheless.
Does it say he was our first choice?
They maybe right, tbh.
How have we been snubbed? He was on a list of several defensive targets, we've been linked briefly to Keane but more and more so to Lindelof.
Hes getting ripped to shreds
Me too, or at the very least, a structure that might make it difficult to spend £60million on a Southampton CB and pay him the same amount of money per week that players like Pogba are getting?
Oh yeah for sure, sorry I just come out with opinions on the relevant posts haha.
Any idea what Coutinho is on?
Whatever happened to that Sporting lad, Gelson Martins?
He signed that new contract recently, I reckon he's getting close to if not 200K?
Sorry i was being sarcastic, i thought that was obvious. But then thats the issue with this sort of medium.
Yea but Martial cutting in every damn time is so tedious, especially with Mkhi doing the same thing on the other wing. Costa is more of a touchline hugger, drilling in crosses left, right and centre, the type of player we've lacked for years
23 year old Max Philipp from Freiburg to Dortmund for €20M. If somebody finds a German tweet. Add it to my translation.
Lacazette doesn't exclude staying 6 months without playing for Atletico Madrid, could join this summer
Wow! Really didn't get the sarcasm there
I like VVD but he is seriously overvalued. A 35m player, 60m is laughable.
