Liverpool have shown ambition and intent in the market since winning the Premier League last season. However, their spending could go through the roof if the club succeed in their plans of bringing in a game-changer later in the transfer window.
The Merseyside giants have already signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and are in talks with the German club for Florian Wirtz’s signature.
The Wirtz deal is expected to break all kinds of spending records this summer, but Liverpool’s ambition is far greater than their fans would have imagined at the start of the summer.
Arne Slot wants to turbocharge the evolution of his squad in the ongoing transfer window, and a more expensive player than the German could arrive at Liverpool later in the window.

The Merseyside giants plot massive swoop for striker
Alexander Isak is the undisputed number one striker target for Liverpool, and they are not giving up hope of signing him this summer.
The Reds have been assessing and sounding out other options, but according to the Empire of the Kop, they are unwilling to move on to other targets just yet.
Liverpool want clarity on the Isak situation before they decide to push hard for another striker in the ongoing transfer window.
Newcastle are keen to offer him a new contract, but if the Swede decides against signing a fresh deal, it could set the cat among the pigeons in the market.
The Magpies would want a £150m fee if they decide to sell Isak, and Liverpool have the money to fund such a move if he becomes available in the market.
Liverpool are keeping close tabs on the situation and are ready to push forward with a move if encouragement is given that an exit is possible for the Newcastle star.
