Who are the 10 Liverpool most expensive signings of all time?

Here is the list of Liverpool’s most expensive signings in history as the Reds close in on another landmark transfer deal.

It’s official, Liverpool have sealed an agreement with Benfica to sign Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez.

Benfica announced the sale on Monday. The Portuguese club will receive an initial €75 million from Liverpool this summer, and then a potential €25 million in add-ons. This could bring the transfer fee up to €100 million.

If that’s the case, it would smash the €84.65 million club-record fee that Liverpool forked out to sign Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018.
