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

Liverpool's most expensive signings ever

Known for their frugal spending, Premier League champions Liverpool have agreed more than £500m-worth of deals since the summer of 2025, including breaking the British transfer record twice.

In the 2026 winter window, the Reds inked a deal with Rennes to bring centre-back Jeremy Jacquet to Anfield at the end of the season for an initial £55m fee that could rise to £60m, enough to see the defender land a spot on this list.

Prior to their troubled title defence this term, the Merseysiders signed Florian Wirtz from bayer Leverkusen for £100m plus £16m in add-ons, as well as centre-forward Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for £125m.

Arne Slot's side also brought Hugo Ekitike to the club for up to £79m, and after striking up a deadly partnership with Wirtz recently, the former Eintracht Frankfurt man is making a name for himself in the Premier League.

Read on as Sports Mole ranks the top 10 most expensive signings in Liverpool's storied history after their business in the January transfer window.
