With Liverpool in the market for at least one, if not two, more midfielders, and a left-sided centre-back also on their wishlist, this summer will be one of the Reds’ busiest transfer windows.
Alexis Mac Allister has already arrived for a fee believed to be in the region of £35m, with club bosses monitoring a number of players as they weigh up their options ahead of making a move for their second signing of the summer. Should they land the desired three further signings, it will mark the most senior permanent signings Liverpool have made in one window since bringing in Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alisson Becker, and Xherdan Shaqiri in the summer of 2018.
Admittedly, the Reds are unlikely to sanction a repeat of that £174.25m spending spree, which remains the club’s biggest overall outlay since the transfer window was introduced in its current format in 2002/03. But they are still expected to spend considerably this summer as they look to bounce back from last year’s disappointing campaign, which saw them fail to qualify for the Champions League.
