Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they're not a mega spending club.
Despite breaking the world record for a defender (Virgil van Dijk, £75m, January 2018) and a goalkeeper (Alisson Becker, £65m, July 2018) during his reign, the German insists the Reds' spending on an individual will never reach the dizzying heights of PSG's move for the Brazilian.
“No. We have a conservative leadership," he told ESPN when asked if he could envisage such a scenario occurring at Liverpool.
“It feels like £100m back then is £500m today. When Neymar joined PSG for £200m, I shook myself.
“Back then I had an opinion, but an incredible lot has happened since. In 2017, Neymar joined Paris, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele joined Barcelona for a lot of money, and Kylian Mbappe [joined] Paris.
“This opened the whole thing, the money's on the market. Now, if Liverpool wants a player, the other clubs want a bit of the cake too. That's the story.
“And you must also keep in mind that players like Mo Salah, Sadio Mane or Robert Firmino, players we bought for €30m to €40m, have a different value on the transfer market these days. That's part of the business."
