In the four windows I have been here we have a net spend of £150m I think.“That shows what kind of club we are. We also know that Kostas Tsimikas comes back.”Meanwhile, Liverpool’s academy continues to bolster the club’s long-term plans with fresh additions.

Dre Adebayo has officially signed for Liverpool after previously being part of Manchester City’s youth setup.Adebayo previously featured at the U11 level, having earlier played for U9 sides, and gained experience in notable youth tournaments such as the RVP Tournament and Titan Elite.Liverpool’s interest in recruiting young talent was evident last summer with the arrivals of players such as Florian Wirtz and Giovanni Leoni.The Reds have continued that strategy, signing Mor Talla Ndiaye (18) from Amitie FC and Ifeanyi Ndukwe (17) from Austria Vienna in January 2026.Jeremy Jacquet is also set to join Liverpool in the summer, further underlining the club’s focus on building for the future.
