Lots of people have been asking me to clarify #LFC's financial standing and its position to compete in the transfer market. Is the money really there or is the club leading fans down the garden path? In the 16/17 season/financial year, the club generated total revenues from broadcast fees, commercial and matchday income of £364m. Its operating expenses were £357m, but sizeable profits from transfer activities meant the total profit was £39m.

So a lot of people have been asking about Jan Oblak, his buyout clause with Atletico Madrid and the likelihood of Liverpool bringing the player to Anfield. Allow me to shed some light on the situation. Oblak is under contract to Atletico Madrid until June '21 and his buyout clause is reported to be 100m euros (£88.4m). The buyout clause cannot be triggered by the buying club; only the player can trigger the clause (this means the buying club would transfer funds to the player).
