Liverpool’s All-Time Highest Transfer Fees

Anfield buzzed with excitement when Florian Wirtz joined from Bayer Leverkusen for a record fee of £116 million.

The attacking midfielder had already made a name for himself in Europe, playing a key role in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title win in the 2023/24 season.

However, since his arrival at Liverpool, Wirtz has not yet reached his top form. With some time to adapt, the German international has the potential to play a significant role in Liverpool’s future plans.

1) Alexander Isak (from Newcastle United) – £125m

In the closing days of the summer transfer window, Alexander Isak joined Liverpool for a record £125 million, making him the club’s most expensive signing as well as the highest in Premier League history.

The Swedish forward excelled at Newcastle, scoring 54 goals in 86 league matches and contributing to their Carabao Cup victory.

Although Isak’s performance at Anfield has not yet matched his form at Newcastle, he has the potential to become a key player under Arne Slot.
