Liverpool sporting director Billy Horgan has vowed that Jurgen Klopp will again be allowed to spend big to strengthen his squad in the summer.
The Reds paid out around £247m in 2018 to recruit Virgil van Dijk, Alisson Becker, Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri, offset by the £142m sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona.
Off the field, £200m has also been invested in revamping Anfield's Main Stand and work continues to take place at the club's Kirkby training base.
Having posted a profit before tax of £125m for the year ending May 31, 2018, however, Liverpool will continue to invest heavily in the squad to become a force in the Premier League and Europe.
"That represents a significant investment into the non-playing side and that is a great indication of where we are as a club, both on and off the pitch," Horgan said in the February edition of fcbusiness.
"From our perspective, what you are seeing is a continuation of that performance on the pitch and the reinvestment in the squad, which is the most important thing from our point of view; nothing is a distraction from putting a successful team on the pitch.
"Putting Jurgen and the guys on the football side in a position to compete at the highest levels, that is always our focus and we see our contribution to that in the form of being able to run the business in a better way and being able to drive revenues to invest back into the team."
Liverpool have yet to win a trophy in Klopp's four years on Merseyside, though they can move top of the Premier League with a point against Manchester United on Sunday and are still in Champions League contention.
