Patrick Zeng @Roundtripper891 Sky Sports We've heard for a long time that the transfers market in Europe has spiraled out of control. Money is everywhere in European soccer and it has never been truer than this summer. Barcelona's $260 million buyout close in Neymar's contract was not a calculated number. It was thrown in there because no one thought it would ever be triggered, but yesterday it was. And with that Barcelona was given a taste of their own medicine that no one could believe.

He already has a champions league title, La Liga title, a Copa del Rey triumph to his name along with a gold medal for his country and 105 goals in 186 appearances for Barca.

With a fee rumored of between £33 and £39 million, Salah's signature should only be the beginning to a busy summer for the Reds. Salah makes Klopp's attack more than formidable. When fully fit the reds attack was considered the "entertainers" of the league, knocking in a myriad of goals. Their fluidity and work rate should only increase with the addition of Salah.
