Fresh from securing their 20th top-flight title in May, Liverpool swiftly embarked on one of the most extraordinary transfer windows in Premier League history.



The total still set a Premier League record, as Liverpool's off-season spending even surpassed the $583M Chelsea splashed out in the summer of 2023, as per the Liverpool Echo.
