Pep Guardiola has hit back at Jurgen Klopp's comments on Manchester City's spending in the transfer market, rejecting the notion that Liverpool cannot compete with the Premier League champions financially.
The Reds have been relatively quiet in the summer window in terms of signing new players, with teenage starlets Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott the only fresh arrivals at Anfield so far.
City, on the other hand, shelled out a club-record fee of £62.8 million to bring Spanish midfielder Rodri to the Etihad Stadium from Atletico Madrid earlier this month, after identifying the need to bring in cover for 34-year-old Fernandinho in midfield.
