🗣 Benfica president Rui Costa on Darwin Nunez transfer: “When we heard Liverpool FC were interested we were hoping to get 40-45 million as Darwin had a good season. Two days later we received an official faxed bid of €80m with add-ons from Liverpool FC. The room erupted into laughter. I told my assistant to fax back asking for €100m with add-ons. Next morning a new bid worth €100m in total arrived. The world has gone crazy, we had better strikers in our youth team. I ordered my assistant to open a bottle of champagne, it felt like we had won the lottery.”
Fewest games needed to score 100 goals for a top five European side:

We received £175m in prize money for winning the league, increased Anfield's capacity, have a deal with Adidas worth £60m per year, have sold £200m worth of players and only spent £12.5m last year.
We're completely PSR compliant. Not our fault we're a well run football club.
