2 rookies this summer of Liverpool entered the group of the most expensive signings in The Kop history.

10. Alexis Mac Allister – £36.1m

Various sources confirm different transfer amounts for Alexis Mac Allister. It ranges between £35m and £45m. However, regardless of the actual fee, many consider it a bargain for a World Cup winner.

9. Diogo Jota – £38.4 million

The Portuguese striker joined Liverpool from Wolves in September 2020. Injuries have plagued the 26-year-old, including one that has kept him out of the 2022 World Cup.

A prolonged goal drought saw many questions raised for the 1996-born star. However, Jota seems to have returned to near-best form with a streak of seven goals in nine appearances. at the end of last season.

8. Fabinho – £38.7m

As the star that led Monaco to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2017, he had another year at the Ligue 1 club before joining Liverpool. With the Champions League win in his first season and the Premier League title 12 months later, it’s reasonable to assume the Brazilian made an impact at Liverpool.

Last season was not Fabinho’s best season but he is still in Jurgen Klopp’s plans.

7. Christian Benteke – £39.9m

Benteke scored 10 goals in his first season at Liverpool but was no match for Klopp. The Belgian striker moved to Crystal Palace in 2016 and shone as he shot 15 times in his first season in London.

However, overall, Benteke has only 35 goals in 162 matches for the capital club. Only 32 years old, Benteke is currently playing in the MLS with DC United.

6. Luis Diaz – £40.4 million

As soon as he arrived at Anfield, Diaz made an impression. He played brilliantly in the first half of the season. However, last season, injuries prevented the striker from playing. The Colombian star has only played 25 matches for club and national team.

5. Naby Keita – £51.5 million

Keita arrived at Liverpool with high expectations and he took the number 8 shirt from Steven Gerrard after joining from RB Leipzig in 2018. However, it was unfortunate for the Guinean as he was constantly injured in the red shirt.

The midfielder has never made more than 25 appearances in a season at Liverpool. Following the expiration of his contract, Keita completed a move to Werder Bremen in the summer.

4. Alisson – £53.7 million

After Loris Karius’ nightmare in the 2018 Champions League final, Klopp decided he needed a new goalkeeper. Alisson immediately showed he was the man Liverpool needed.

After many years, the Brazilian goalkeeper is still the mainstay of The Kop.

3. Dominik Szoboszlai – £60.1 million

Szoboszlai impressed against Liverpool during his time with Red Bull Salzburg, and then became a mainstay with RB Leipzig. This explains the fɑct that Liverpool are willing to pay large sums for the 22-year-old, who is willing to not play the Champions League for a year to move to Anfield.

2. Darwin Nunez – £68.7 million

Things started not to be perfect for the Uruguayan, who was sent off against Crystal Palace at the start of the season. He scored 15 goals in his first season at Liverpool but is expected to produce an even better performance.

With Liverpool adding Cody Gakpo in January, the competition for places will become fiercer. Nunez will need to prove his place on this team despite the hefty fee.

1. Virgil van Dijk – £72.7 million

The Dutch defender joined Liverpool in January 2018. He quickly made an impact at Liverpool.

Van Dijk is an indispensable character in The Kop’s Champions League and Premier League victories. Although the 2022/23 season has not been Van Dijk’s best season, the midfielder is still considered one of the most successful signings in the club’s history.
