Liverpool most expensive signings? Here we take a look at who are Liverpool’s most expensive signings as of 2020.

Liverpool FC most expensive signings ever – Darwin Nunez

The 22-year-old forward signed for the Reds in the 2022 summer window in a deal worth £85m that makes him the club’s most expensive signing of all-time.

The Uruguayan striker bagged 34 goals in 41 appearances for his former side Benfica last season. With Sadio Mane looking to move on this summer, Klopp has managed to secure a player who is regarded as one of the sought-after forwards by many top European clubs.

Liverpool FC most expensive signings ever – Virgil van Dijk

To date, Liverpool’s star defender Virgil van Dijk remains Liverpool’s most expensive signing of all-time as well as the most expensive defender of all-time. The Dutchman’s transfer from Southampton to Liverpool last January cost Liverpool £75 million, bettering the £52 million that Manchester City paid for Benjamin Mendy earlier that season.

So far, van Dijk has been worth his price tag as his performances for Liverpool have been impressive so far. The Netherlands captain has made 7 appearances so far in the 2020/21 campaign for Liverpool, scoring once.

Virgil van Dijk has established himself as one of the best defenders in the world and his performances this season is just enhancing his reputation.

The Dutchman will hope to continue his good form for the club and help his club win the league title once again.

Liverpool FC most expensive signings ever – Alisson

The Brazilian custodian had a terrific 17/18 season with AS Roma, making 22 clean sheets in 49 appearances across all competitions. Alisson helped Roma reached the Champions League semi-finals and was eventually named in the competition’s Team of the Season.

Last summer, Liverpool signed Alisson for a fee of £66.8 million which was a record fee for a goalkeeper at the time.

The Brazilian has done remarkably well for Liverpool so far, making 25  clean sheets in 49 appearances across all competitions so far. Alisson is very close to winning the Premier League Golden Glove as he is tied with his friend Ederson at the top position with 20 clean sheets.

Alisson made a string of marvellous saves in Liverpool’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona as the Reds won 4-0 and advanced to the Champions League Final. They also won the final after that beating Spurs 2-0.

Then last season, the Reds finally broke the Premier League title and Alisson was instrumental in that.

The Brazilian will be hoping to continue his good form as Liverpool will want to wiin once again.

Liverpool FC most expensive signings ever- Naby Keita

After impressing with RB Leipzig, Liverpool decided to sign Naby Keita in 2017 and Keita joined the club last summer on a transfer fee of £52.75 million.

The Guinea international has so far made 33 appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring three goals and providing an assist against Crystal Palace in January. Keita’s first goal for Liverpool came against Southampton at St. Mary’s Stadium in an eventual 3-1 win for Liverpool. In the very next match against Porto, Keita opened the scoring for Liverpool. His most recent goal for Liverpool came against Huddersfield Town a few weeks back.

Keita has been suffering his injury problems for two seasons now. He has played a few good matches but is definitely not worth the massive money they dished out for him. He has not had the impact Klopp expected him to have. Also, Keita has found it tough to break into the first team eleven when all players are fit. With Wijnaldum still in the club, it does not seem like Keita will make it big at Anfield.

This is Liverpool’s most recent signing. He was signed during the summer transfer window of the 2020/21 campaign. The forward was signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a sum of £40.23m, becoming the Reds most expensive signing in 2020.

Salah has become a talismanic figure at Liverpool. He scored 44 goals in 52 appearances last season. Salah scored a record 32 goals in the Premier League last season and won the Golden Boot in addition to being named the Player of the Season.

Salah will hope to continue scoring goals for Liverpool as they aim to win the League title.
