Liverpool are getting called out by rivals fans following their big-money signings of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai this summer.

The Reds have completed the transfer of Szoboszlai for £60 million, with the Hungarian midfielder penning a five-year contract.

His arrival comes after the Anfield club snapped up Mac Allister from Brighton for £35 million earlier this transfer window.

Liverpool also lured Cody Gakpo for an initial £37 million last January while they shelled out a club-record fee of £85 million to bring in Darwin Nunez last summer.

The Premier League giants' spending spree comes after Sky Sports reported that the club are 'working under very tough financial restrictions' this summer.

So, following the capture of Szoboszlai, Arsenal and Manchester City fans took aim at Jurgen Klopp's side as they made their feelings known on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: "Szobozlai, Gakpo, Nunez, Mac Allister have been signed for £200m without selling a single player. But somehow Arsenal are the ‘big spenders’ and Liverpool are 'working under very tough financial restrictions’."

A second sarcastically tweeted: "You can’t help but (Szoboszlai €75m) really feel for (Mac Allister €50m) Klopp, trying to (Nunez €85m) rebuild a squad on a (Gakpo €50m) shoestring*.

*All signed since Liverpool last sold a single player."

A third argued: "You've spent close to 300m more net than Liverpool over the last 3 years excluding the Rice/Timber deals which are pending. What are you on about?"

A fourth hit back: "Except A) Mac was 35, Gakpo 37 B) There were no senior signings in summer '19 and 1 each summer '21 and '22 C) A club that has continuously failed to back its best manager in 30 years is only NOW actually spending."

Another commented: "Klopp not spending is the biggest myth ever."

As some of the Liverpool fans mentioned, they didn't spend heavily during previous windows unlike some of their rivals.

But they're now recruiting with big-money transfer fees ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
