Liverpool poured an astronomical amount of money into the transfer market this summer.
The BBC reported on the 1st (Korea time) "Liverpool's current expenditure this summer amounts to £290 million (about 547 billion won)," according to Football Transfers.
This is a figure that has not yet been completed, including the transfer fees of Alexander Isaac and Mark Gehi. If all of their transfer fees are combined, Liverpool's total expenditure in the transfer market will reach 455 million pounds (about 858.6 billion won). This breaks the highest spending a club has ever recorded during a single transfer window, the BBC said. The previous record was 400 million pounds (about 754 billion won) set by Chelsea in the summer of 2023.
However, it is said that Gehi's transfer negotiations are currently deadlocked. Despite Guehi completing a medical test for Liverpool, there is news that the deal has hit a snag. Guehi's side, Crystal Palace, were seeking to sign Brighton defender Igor Julio, but West Ham are looking to sign him. Crystal Palace initially tried to recruit Igor Julio as a substitute for Gehi, but if it fails, it may be difficult to sell Gehi.

Liverpool reigned supreme in the English Premier League (EPL) last season. This season, he did not let his guard down and recruited a large number of quality players. Famous players such as Florian Birtz and Hugo Ekittike joined the team.
Existing players such as Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are also Liverpool, which is made up of players recognized by the world beyond the Premier League. It is considered the closest team to winning the Premier League this season as well. Liverpool is also determined to challenge for the top of the UEFA Champions League. That's how much investment has been made. As he was lethargic in the Champions League in the 2024-2025 season, he is determined to win the trophy based on big-name freshmen this season.
Soccer fans are paying attention to whether Liverpool, which has poured astronomical money, will pay off that much.
