Liverpool FC has taken center stage this summer after spending a staggering £270 million on new signings — making it the most expensive transfer window in the club’s history. Following a relatively quiet summer in 2023, where only manager Arne Slot and Federico Chiesa were brought in, the Reds have gone all out in the 2024–25 season, securing a host of high-profile names.
So far, Liverpool have signed Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Hugo Ekitike, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Milos Kerkez, Armin Pesci, and Freddie Woodman. In addition, negotiations are ongoing for Newcastle United’s star forward Alexander Isak. Let’s take a closer look at the confirmed signings so far:
