Liverpool's top 10 most expensive signings ever: Where do Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak fees rank?

Hoping to bolster their Premier League title defence, Liverpool parted ways with a staggering £446.5m in the 2025 summer transfer window.

The Merseysiders, who are widely known for their frugal spending, broke the British transfer record not once, but twice to sign two genuine superstars - Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.

Arne Slot's side also dished out a further fee that could rise to £79m to bring French striker Hugo Ekitike to Anfield, while also brokering major deals for the likes of left-back Milos Kerkez.

However, after a difficult first half of the 2025-26 season, the Reds look set to be active in the transfer market once again this winter, and they may be on the lookout for reinforcements at both ends of the pitch after Isak suffered a major injury setback.

Read on as Sports Mole ranks the top 10 most expensive signings in Liverpool's storied history ahead of any potential business this January.
