Van Dijk’s ‘Big Summer’ Call Vindicated by Liverpool’s £400m Rebuild

Van Dijk’s spring plea for major backing looks justified by a spending surge that has been followed by a perfect start.

Overview

  • Liverpool’s outlay surpassed £400m after a frugal 2024 window, with nearly £200m raised from player sales.
  • Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike headline the arrivals, with fees reported to have broken the British transfer record twice.
  • The reshaped squad includes Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni, compensating for Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure.
  • Isak’s deadline-day move completed a 10-signing window assembled to fit Arne Slot’s blueprint.
  • Liverpool opened the new league season with three straight wins, strengthening expectations for a sustained title defense.
