The summer transfer window has only been open for less than a month yet Liverpool have already ensured this will be the biggest spend ever splashed out by the club during a single season.
“Massive” was the word Virgil van Dijk repeatedly used to predict the upcoming churn. He wasn’t wrong.
Confirmation of Milos Kerkez’s £40 million ($54.4 million) arrival on Thursday took Liverpool’s total outlay this summer to more than £180 million ($243 million), shattering the previous high watermark set in 2018 when Jürgen Klopp oversaw the arrival of Alisson, Naby Keïta and Fabinho for a haul in the region of £156 million ($210 million).
Florian Wirtz’s record-breaking British transfer makes up more than half of Liverpool’s spend thus far, although Jeremie Frimpong wasn’t exactly free after completing a move thought to be worth £29.5 million ($40 million).
