Liverpool fans have received an exciting boost ahead of the upcoming transfer windows, according to a new report on FSG's future plans.
The Reds spent big in the summer on signing forward Darwin Nunez from Benfica, with the Uruguayan arriving at Anfield for an initial fee of £64.1 million.
Subject to add-ons, he could become the Reds' record signing.

Other than that, however, Jurgen Klopp's side were relatively cautious in the transfer market, with right-back Calvin Ramsay and midfielder Fabio Carvalho the only other permanent additions.
The Reds did search for another midfielder late on in the window, but were not able to complete any permanent deals, with Arthur Melo eventually arriving on loan from Juventus.
Attention, therefore, quickly turned to the January transfer window. And there have already been major reported developments, with Portuguese outlet Record claiming the Reds have a 'pre-contract agreement' to sign Argentina World Cup star Enzo Fernandez from Benfica.
The sticking point, however, was believed to be the price, with 90min reporting on Wednesday that only a fee of €120 million would convince Benfica to sell.

But a new report suggests Liverpool fans can be reasonably calm on that front.
Can Liverpool sign Enzo Fernandez?
A report from Liverpool.com suggests that Klopp's side may have the money to target both Fernandez and Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham, who has been on their radar throughout 2022.
They add that savings in recent windows, due to a lack of activity, means Liverpool can spend more than usual in 2023, and that, as per sources, big transfer fees are 'unlikely to represent a significant stumbling block' for future deals.

Dortmund have set Bellingham's asking price at €150 million, although that could increase further following his impressive World Cup performances for England.
If the Reds do successfully capture both players, they would smash their existing transfer record in the process. In addition, the total outlay would be over €250 million - a huge amount even in today's market.
But when it comes to player terms, it is said that giving Fernandez an increase on his Benfica wages would not be a problem, leaving only the personal terms to conclude with Bellingham.
If Liverpool were able to complete the signings of both players, it would represent a huge overhaul of their midfield, with two stars who could carry them forward for the next decade and beyond.
