Liverpool look READY to go all-in on £40m star | OneFootball

Liverpool look ready to go all-in on a £40m star. The Reds's minds appear completely made up.

Liverpool made some massive moves in 2025, spending far more than they ever have before. Over £450m went on new players as they twice broke their transfer record.

Alexander Isak is now the most expensive signing in British history, in fact, and the second £100m Liverpool player after Florian Wirtz. Unprecedented spending, then, as the Reds sought to give Arne Slot a squad built for him.

He didn't have that last season, after all, and instead used Jurgen Klopp's squad. That was a squad built over many years to play under the German - they were very much his players.

2025 was about rebuilding under Slot, moving on many of those Klopp wanted and swapping them for stars that suit the Dutchman. It's a process that isn't entirely complete but it's getting closer and closer.

That includes going all-in on one current signing. It appears Liverpool are ready to do so.

Liverpool’s left-back

Liverpool spent a lot of money to sign Milos Kerkez this summer. He’s now, at £40m, the most expensive full-back in the Reds’ history.

But that was a risk. Kerkez is a very young player and one who isn’t entirely proven at the absolute elite level.

Liverpool’s other left-back, Andy Robertson, very much is. He’s won everything with the Reds and will go down as arguably the greatest left-back to ever play for the club.

Yet, the switch from Robertson to Kerkez has been dramatic. Slot put Kerkez straight into the team and hasn’t looked back - despite the signs being there that perhaps it should be a more gradual switch.
