(The Guardian) Klopp and Guardiola baffled by scale of Chelsea spree
The Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, and Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, have shared their thoughts on Chelsea’s record transfer spending. The Blues broke the British transfer record by spending £106.8million to acquire Enzo Fernández from Benfica on deadline day and spent a massive £320m in January, taking their total to well above £600m under Todd Boehly’s ownership.
“They are all good players, really good players. So from that point of view, congratulations. When you can do it, obviously they do it. But I don’t know the standard, how it’s possible with all the things around but it’s obviously not down to me to explain how it works,” said Klopp.
