Liverpool fans are being a bit delusional about this. They attach so much meaning to a corporate entity and then can't understand why millionaires won't do the same when so much money and glory is at stake. How many of you would voluntarily make 30% less money and achieve less in life just so Liverpool are x% more likely to win the league?
I think it's more about the premium placed on England players in England than anything else. They don't move because in most instances they'll be paid less, and the clubs generally don't want them because they know they'll still have to overpay compared to what they might get elsewhere. The money in the Premier League skews everything.
I still think players are a bit reluctant to leave. We don’t really travel all that well in general but you’re right that it is happening more often now.
Trent is very close with Jude Bellingham so that probably makes the decision a bit easier.
Not too sure he’d make the step if he wasn’t there.
