3:59pm, 5 September 2025【Football】

As one of the largest clubs in England, Liverpool is always required to show competitiveness in all competitions. In order to achieve this, they spend a lot of money to bring in players.

Many world's top players came to Anfield at high prices. This high price reflects people's expectations of them becoming differentiated as soon as possible.

Liverpool has broken club transfer records many times during their historical journey. Every player who is introduced at a high price is expected to have a significant impact on the team's performance.

For example, it can be seen in the transfer market in 2025, when the club once again introduced star players. This strategy shows Liverpool's ambitions in the new season.

The following are the five most expensive transfers in Liverpool's history. This list proves the determination of the team management to build a championship roster.

5. Virgil van Dick

Liverpool introduced Virgil van Dyke from Southampton in 2018 for 84.7 million euros. This amount once broke the defender's transfer record.

Van Dijk directly demonstrated his qualities and consolidated Liverpool's defense. He led the team to the Champions League final in his first season and won the championship in his second year.

The Dutch player is also the key to Liverpool's Premier League championship in 2020. With his contribution, he entered the 2019 Golden Globes nomination and won second place.

Liverpool will introduce Darwin Nunes from Benfica for 85 million euros in the summer of 2022. If certain bonus terms are met, this amount may increase to €100 million.

However, his contribution did not exactly meet expectations. Darwin Nunes has indeed scored important goals, including in the Champions League, but he has often been criticized for missing out on golden opportunities.

After three seasons, Liverpool decided to sell him to Riyadh for a maximum price of 65 million euros. The transfer ended his short journey at Anfield as the most expensive player, who hasn't fully played at the expected level.

3. Ngu Ekitic

Hugo Ekitic officially joined Liverpool from Frankfurt in the 2025 summer transfer window. His transfer fee is as high as 95 million euros.

The French striker was brought in to replace Darwin Nunes and Diogo Jota after leaving. Last season, Ekitic performed well in the Bundesliga, making his debut with impressive goals and assists.

Ekitic scored 22 goals and sent 12 assists in the 2024/2025 season. He is expected to become the main offensive weapon for Liverpool under Arnold Slott and strengthen his frontline strength.

2. Florian Werz

Liverpool continued to revamp the squad after winning the Premier League title and introduced Florian Werz. The Bayer Leverkusen young player immediately became the focus as an expensive signing.

Florian Werzben had a chance to transfer to Bayern Munich, but ended up choosing Liverpool. Liverpool paid up to 125 million euros in transfer fees to sign the German midfielder.

The 20-year-old successfully scored 16 goals and 15 assists last season. Arn Slott (hopefully Florian Wilz will be the creative engine of the midfield and enhance Liverpool's creativity.

1. Alexander Isaac officially transferred to Liverpool in the summer of 2025, breaking the club's transfer record. Isaac's transfer took place on the last day of the transfer market and immediately attracted the attention of the football community.

Liverpool must go through a long negotiation process before introducing Isaac from Newcastle for 145 million euros. This amount is still lower than the initial asking price of Tyneside Club, 170 million euros.

The Swedish striker is expected to be the main focus of Liverpool's offense. In the 2024/2025 season, Isaac scored 27 goals, proving his stability in the Premier League.
