According to a report from Daily Mail, Liverpool have spent more in this transfer window than they did last season and conducted a decent transfer business throughout the summer by adding some real talent in the midfield department. However, the Moises Caicedo saga will leave a lasting memory as they were humbled by Chelsea in the concluding days of the transfer market, but it is not to say that they have addressed some key problems and are back stronger than ever.
Confirmed Liverpool Signings
Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzig, £60m)
Dominik Szoboszlai was confirmed as an addition to the Merseyside club, after inking a contract extending until the summer of 2028. He now faces an exhilarating task as he steps into the role of continuing the legacy associated with one of the club’s most iconic shirts, the number 8, famously worn by legends like Steven Gerrard.
The Hungarian international showcased his abilities at Anfield upon his arrival after the Reds activated his £60 million release clause to secure his services from RB Leipzig last month. Klopp will look to Szoboszlai to introduce a fresh dimension to the team’s midfield department.
Alexis Mac Allister (Brighton, £35m)
Liverpool successfully initiated the first phase of their summer rebuilding plan by finalizing the acquisition of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
The Argentine World Cup champion reached an agreement on a contract that extends until June 2028. The importance of his arrival is underscored by the fact that he has been entrusted with Liverpool’s iconic No. 10 jersey.
This number carries immense historical weight at Liverpool, having been worn by legendary figures such as John Barnes and, more recently, Sadio Mane. Additionally, the significance of the No. 10 for Mac Allister extends beyond Liverpool, as it holds profound symbolism in Argentina, associated with icons like Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi.
Wataru Endo (Stuttgart, £16m)
Amidst concerns that Liverpool might struggle to reinforce their midfield following the departures of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, the signing of Stuttgart’s Wataru Endo for £16 million proved to be a game-changer.
Liverpool had been eager to secure a defensive midfield solution this summer, having missed out on signings like Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, who both opted for Chelsea. Endo’s arrival at Liverpool provides much-needed immediate cover as the Premier League season gets underway.
Ryan Gravenberch (Bayern Munich, £35m)
Liverpool secured the acquisition of Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich for £35 million prior to the transfer deadline, marking the fourth addition to their midfield roster. The 21-year-old midfielder inked a five-year contract following his departure from the German powerhouse.
In this summer’s transfer window, Jurgen Klopp has successfully brought in four midfielders, with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo all arriving earlier.
