The Premier League champions have already committed a potential £176 million across four signings, but plans are in motion to push that figure past £200 million for the first time in the club’s history.

This is shaping up to be Liverpool’s most aggressive window yet, a clear statement of intent following their title-winning campaign.

And with Arne Slot taking charge for his first full season, the club’s ambition couldn’t be clearer: build on success and stay ahead of the curve.

The headline-grabbing arrival of Wirtz comes via a deal worth an initial £100 million, rising to £116 million with achievable add-ons.

That alone makes him Liverpool’s most expensive signing ever, surpassing both Virgil van Dijk and Darwin Nunez.

Factor in the £29.5 million for Jeremie Frimpong, £1.5 million for Armin Pecsi and the pre-agreed £25 million for Giorgi Mamardashvili (rising to £29 million) and Liverpool’s summer spend already hits record-breaking territory.

For comparison, the club’s previous highest outlay came in 2018 with £175 million spent on Fabinho, Alisson, Keita, and Shaqiri (via reports by Liverpool Echo).

This time, Liverpool haven’t just matched that, they’re about to smash it.

The next name likely through the door is Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.

Liverpool remain in talks with the Cherries, who value the Hungarian left-back at £45 million.

Securing Kerkez would officially push Liverpool’s total spend beyond £200 million.

A new centre-forward remains on the cards, with Hugo Ekitike linked.

The Eintracht Frankfurt striker is valued at £85 million and his name continues to resurface amid uncertainty over Darwin Nunez’s future.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher have already been sold for a combined £28 million, helping to balance the books slightly.

With Florian Wirtz, Liverpool didn’t just make a marquee signing, they sent a message.
