Discussions between Thiago and the Reds have progressed nicely and a transfer fee is now the only remaining sticking point. Liverpool though do not want to pay the 29-year-old's transfer fee in one lump sum and would rather spread the payments out. But Jurgen Klopp has already said that the club "cannot spend millions" and will continue giving academy talent an opportunity. We cannot spend millions and millions and millions because we want to or we think it is nice to do. The problem with a strong squad is how do you improve a strong squad on the transfer market?
