No addition

Meanwhile, in the summer of 2024, when Arne Slot succeeded the completely successful, Jürgen Slot, he did not spend a single euro to strengthen the manpower of his new team. In fact, not only did he not “put in” the management of “Rents”, but the transfer balance was positive by 5 million euros!

They only acquired goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili (30 million euros - he was loaned to Valencia for a season) and Italian winger Federico Chiesa (12 million euros from Juventus), while they received 47 million euros from Brentford for Van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho. And it should be noted that Slot had no opinion on all of this, so it was more of a management move.

Of course, the aftermath was amazing. Liverpool won its 20th championship.

The most expensive transfers of 2025

Last year's success gave them the opportunity, as their coffers are full, to launch a transfer counterattack in the summer of 2025.

Liverpool's summer 2025 transfers have put them at the top of the transfer list for the first time, with a spending of €340m.

And yet, despite spending more than Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain combined, they have no intention of stopping there. In fact, they would have already surpassed it by a significant margin if Newcastle had accepted their €127m (plus bonuses) bid for Alexander Isak.

Liverpool chairman Paul Werner told Slott that he will do everything he can to sign Isak If Newcastle finally agree, they will have made the third most expensive transfer in their history in the same summer. As German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz cost €125m. French forward Hugo Ekitike 95 million (the previous record was 85 million euros for Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez.).

Let's take a look at the 5 most expensive new signings, who will strengthen the effort for their first repeat since 1984. In a busy summer for the club, which we must not forget was indelibly marked by the tragic loss of Diogo Jota.

LIVERPOOL – Transfers 2025:

FLORIAN WIRTZ / 125 million euros

Although only 22 years old, Florian Wirtz was the brain of Leverkusen in the unforgettable path to the double and the unbeaten season of the 2023/24. An attacking midfielder who combines creation with efficiency.

Excellent at handling the ball under pressure, with a sense of space and the ability to pierce defenses with a pass or a change of pace.

Liverpool "stole" him from Bayern's hands, for free of charge of course, since they had to make him the 6th most expensive transfer in the history of football.

HUGO EKITIKE (95 million euros)

A player that many had written off early on, due to his failed move from Paris Saint-Germain. In Frankfurt, EkItike found the conditions to excel and last year he scored 15 goals and 8 assists and was one of the top players in the Bundesliga.

Tall, skilled, he is the type of forward who can give another dimension to the attack. At 23 years old, Liverpool sees him as an investment with upside, capable of entering the rotation and developing into a solid solution at the "9".

MILOS KERKEZ (47 million euros)

The Dutchman, Slot, had his eye on the Hungarian left-back, Milos Kerkez, who had an excellent season with Bournemouth, showing himself ready for the higher level.

A modern full-back, with good technical training and promotions, the 21-year-old Hungarian Milos. His package is ideal for the style the team is looking for on the wings: a full-back who can run non-stop, press and attack like a winger.

JEREMY FRIMPONG (40 million euros)

The Dutch international midfielder/defender will be a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Surprisingly fast, with a unique burst in the first few meters, his ability to reach the end line reminds more of a winger than a defender. Frimpong had impressive numbers in Leverkusen's historic (last year) season, "writing" 14 goals and 12 assists as a full-back in all competitions. Last year, however, he was not as effective (5 and 12 the respective seasons.
