Liverpool have dominated the transfer market this summer, with the club spending over £400million on improving their ranks.
And, although this seems like an awful lot of money, due to the number of players they sold, their net spend is just over £200million.
Players such as Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have been welcomed through the Anfield doors, and when quality like that is brought in, you expect to pay a premium.
Although it seemed like Arne Slot managed to get all his targets this summer, there were some, such as Marc Guehi, who unfortunately fell through the cracks.

And, even though they’ve already had a massive overhaul, that doesn’t mean they weren’t willing to do some additional business in the window.
Angelo Stiller admits that Florian Wirtz’s Liverpool move was “cool”
One player who was often linked with an Anfield switch in the early days of the summer transfer window was Angelo Stiller.
The German midfielder was the subject of interest for many clubs across the globe, with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United also interested in acquiring his services.
However, for one reason or another, aside from the arrival of Wirtz, Slot chose against bringing any other midfielders in this time around.
And now, in quotes relayed by Fabrizio Romano via his personal X account, Stiller has given his thoughts on a potential move abroad in the future.
“Angelo Stiller on his future: “I’m interested in moving abroad at some point,” he wrote.
“I thought Florian Wirtz’s decision to go to Liverpool was cool. But only one thing is certain for me: at the end of my career, I absolutely want to play in the USA”.

Angelo Stiller could end up joining Liverpool next summer
Although a move for the German holding midfielder didn’t work out this summer, that doesn’t mean it can’t be explored next season.
In the summer of 2026, Stiller will have a £33.5million release clause in his deal, which is a more than reasonable fee for someone such as Liverpool to spend.
Indeed, the Reds do have Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch to cover that role at the moment, but since Endo isn’t getting any younger and Gravenberch can’t play each game, a new defensive midfielder feels like a smart idea.
It was clear that the 2025-26 summer transfer window was mainly for Liverpool to improve their defence and attack.

These were two areas that needed bolstering from last season, and, even though Slot’s first-team squad are now a tad light in midfield due to the sales of players such as Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton, they have more than enough quality to see them out this term.
Of course, nobody knows what’s going to happen in the future, but with the way things have panned out thus far, it would be a surprise not to see Liverpool going after a new midfielder next term.
