Whether it’s Alexander Isak or Florian Wirtz, some of the players Liverpool are being linked with ahead of the summer transfer window would require a club-record fee.

Jeremie Frimpong is expected to be the first arrival in what is shaping up to be a significant few months for the Premier League champions.

However, the Dutchman will arrive for a modest £30million, with the Reds having informed Bayer Leverkusen of their intention to trigger his release clause.

Liverpool came close to breaking their current transfer record in the summer of 2023, when they had a monumental £111 million bid accepted by Brighton for midfielder Moises Caicedo.

However, the move never materialised, as the player had already been in discussions with Chelsea for several months.

The London club ultimately signed the Ecuadorian international, breaking not only their own transfer record but also the British transfer record in the process.

Not only did his £75million move from Southampton break the club’s transfer record, but it also made him the most expensive defender at the time.
