Liverpool have had a net spend of almost £100m this summer - but it's not close to being the highest in the Premier League
Al-Ittihad would love to believe otherwise, but Liverpool's transfer business has now concluded for the summer.
By then, Liverpool had already recruited Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, with Wataru Endo later following from Stuttgart after failed attempts to sign Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia. Ryan Gravenberch, who had been a target throughout the transfer window, was finally taken from Bayern Munich shortly before last Friday's deadline.
That summer, Liverpool had money left over from the £142m accrued from the sale of Phillipe Coutinho to Barcelona the previous January and spent more than £100m on the last midfield rebuild, with Fabinho and Naby Keita joined by an attacking option in Xherdan Shaqiri. Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, though, was the big-money signing in that window, costing £65m from Roma.
The latest transfer window continues the trend in recent years for FSG to commit to an increasing amount of money on signings. The net spend has gone from £38m in 2020/21, to £43m the following season, £72m last campaign and £99m so far this. In the last six years, the total net spend stands at just over £350m.
In the five seasons since the last major splurge in 2018, Liverpool have an overall net spend of around £220m that ranks them way down in the list of moneybags rivals. But that Villa and West Ham are also high on the list underlines splashing the cash alone isn't enough. How it is spent, and how the players are then used, are sometimes just as important. Beyond doubt, though, is the greater the funds, the greater the options.
