Although it is not as wealthy as Paris Saint-Germain, is the money spent really worth it? Today, let’s take a look at the ten most expensive signings in Liverpool’s history and see if they were a profit or a waste!
No. 10 Mane , 41.2 million euros, big profit
In the summer of 2016, Liverpool spent 41.2 million euros to bring Mane from Southampton to Liverpool. Mane was only 24 years old at the time. Soon, this The low-key and simple Senegalese became Liverpool's right wing. After the arrival of Salah, Mane moved to the left and his offensive power soared, becoming an important pillar of the striker trident, and then ushered in the Liverpool dynasty. . Judging from the honors the team has achieved in recent years, Liverpool has made a huge profit by buying Mane! Therefore, for Liverpool fans, Mane's departure is inevitably a bit sad.
No. 9 Salah, 42 million euros, big profit
In the summer of 2017, Liverpool spent 42 million euros to buy Salah from Roma. After joining the team for five seasons, Salah’s performance has been very stable. The number one player in the team, Salah has brought countless honors to Liverpool. Currently, the 30-year-old Egyptian forward is still worth 90 million euros. However, for such a value-for-money player, Liverpool actually plans to For sale this summer, the price is 60 million euros. Liverpool fans are confused about this. They just sold Mane and want to sell Salah. Is it really going to end?
No. 8 Jota , 44.7 million euros, small profit
In September 2020, Liverpool spent 44.7 million euros to buy Jota from Wolves . At present, the money is not wasted, Jota is in the ball His position in the team is also becoming more and more important. Last season, Jota replaced Firmino and became Liverpool's new main center. Currently, the 25-year-old Portuguese forward is worth 60 million euros. I believe there will be a lot of room for appreciation in the future!
No. 7 Fabinho , 45 million euros, big profit
In 2018, Liverpool introduced Brazilian iron waist Fabinho from Monaco for a transfer fee of 45 million euros. Facts have proved that the money is well spent. , this versatile backcourt player has excellent physical fitness, strong positional adaptability, and a large defensive coverage area. The defensive barrier formed by Van Dijk has become a strong backing for Liverpool. Now, the 28-year-old Fabinho is in his prime and has also developed a new scoring skill package. Therefore, Liverpool extended his contract with him early until 2026!
No. 6 Benteke , 46.5 million euros, nothing
Uncle scum sometimes makes mistakes! In the summer of 2015, Klopp, who had just become the coach of the Red Army, spent money on players in the transfer market, including the Belgian striker Benteke, and the transfer fee was the Liverpool team at the time. The second highest net worth in history. However, the subsequent performance of this high-profile signing was extremely disappointing. He played 42 games for Liverpool in two seasons and only scored 10 goals and contributed 4 assists. Then a hasty farewell to Liverpool!
No. 5 Luis Dias, 4,500 euros
Liverpool always like to buy high-quality semi-finished products with star potential at low to medium prices, and Dias is one of them. In January 2022, Liverpool brought the 25-year-old Colombian forward from Porto for a transfer fee of 45 million euros. Because he came from a poor and small place in South America, Dias was discovered late, but this cannot be concealed. His star potential, in last year's America's Cup, Dias scored 4 goals alone, tied with Golden Boot winner Messi. Dias is best at cutting in from the left, and he is likely to become the next . robben. Therefore, Liverpool will definitely not lose from this deal!
No. 4 Naby Keita , 60 million euros, nothing
was in a free state as soon as he came on the field. His ball play was not as good as Thiago , his hardness was not as good as Henderson , and his defense was not as good as Fabinho. .In 2018, Liverpool spent a high price of 60 million euros to buy Keita from Leipzig. As a result, nothing was produced in 4 years. The current value has dropped to 25 million euros. Not to mention creating value, even The cost is gone! In this current situation, if Liverpool wants to sell Keita, there may not be anyone to take it!
No. 3 Alisson , 62.5 million euros
In 2018, Liverpool spent 62.5 million euros to buy the Brazilian forward from Roma. He played for the team for 4 seasons. Alisson participated in and witnessed Liverpool's dynasty moment and grew into One of the super goalkeepers in football, although Alisson is currently worth 50 million euros, which has dropped compared to the original transfer fee, for Liverpool, buying Alisson is definitely a great value!
No. 2 Nunez, 100 million euros
In this summer window, Liverpool spent 100 million euros to poach the 23-year-old Uruguayan forward from the famous black club Benfica and signed a 6-year contract. With a big contract, Nunez, who is 1.87 meters tall, can be said to be very eye-catching on Liverpool's front line. What is even more eye-catching is his performance. Last season, Nunez represented Benfica in 41 games and scored 34 goals. He scored the goal and contributed 4 assists. With such a scoring efficiency, it will be no problem to take over the forward position of Liverpool. Currently, Dezhuan's valuation of him is 55 million euros. I hope he can lead Liverpool to the next level!
No. 1 Van Dijk , 84.66 million euros,
Is it worth investing more than 80 million euros in a defender? Liverpool has already given the answer: Of course it’s worth it! At the beginning of 2018, Liverpool spent a total of 75 million pounds, or 84.66 million euros, to sign Van Dijk from Southampton. As soon as the news came out, the outside world was in an uproar. Liverpool actually spent so much money on a defender! However, the huge changes that Van Dijk brought to Liverpool quickly silenced those who doubted. The usual midfielder is iron at best, but the midfielder with Van Dijk is made of stainless steel and can He can resist and attack, so which team doesn't want it?
