Liverpool may not be about to match the dizzying heights of last summer’s record-breaking transfer spend but, if the Reds get it their way over the next two weeks, they might come close.
Around $81 million (£60 million) was spent on center back Jérémy Jacquet and a further $46 million went on winger Víctor Muñoz, but the need to replace departed legend Mohamed Salah remains. Paris Saint-Germain pair Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye are both on the radar and could jointly command the best part of $250 million.
