By virtue of the signings most club made during the transfer window will make the league very tough. Last season, the league was won by Manchester City with just a point over Liverpool FC.
Liverpool FC having lost the EPL title with just a point to Man City last season is looking forward to win the league this season. Liverpool bought new prayers to the club with the aim of strengthening their squad in order to win the 2022/2023 EPL, the likes of Darwin Nunez from Benifica was signed by Liverpool with a huge sum of money to solidify their attack. Liverpool allowed one of their attackers in the person of Sadio Mane leave the club for FC Bayern Munich.
The Senegalese Spent almost five years at Liverpool and helped the club to win trophies particularly the UEFA champions league and the 2020 EPL title which had eluded them for over three decades. Sadio Mane formed a formidable attack with Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino which helped the team to win more trophies.
After spending five years at Liverpool, Sadio Mane felt he was not treated well in terms of amount of money he receives per week. He decided to leave the club for different club who is willing to increase his wages as Bayern Munich was ready and eventually signed him.
Liverpool FC allowed Sadio Mane to leave and went in for Darwin Nunez to replace him. It was crystal clear that, Liverpool were not treating Mane.
