Liverpool have spent £150m on Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, while Milos Kerkez will spend an additional £45m when he moves from Bournemouth in the coming days.
However, the reigning Premier League champions could continue to spend money as they try to prepare the strongest squad for coach Arne Slot.
Of course, not shopping much last summer will help Liverpool feel more comfortable financially at the moment. However, they still planned carefully by selling Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah for a total of £61.5 million.
Initially, the Wirtz recruitment deal would be calculated at around £100 million in The Kop's financial books this year, excluding performance-related add-ons and spread equally over the 5 years of the contract. Similarly, the cases of Frimpong and Kerkez were also divided equally over the same period.
After completing the Kerkez deal, Liverpool are expected to focus on adding a new centre-back. There are currently rumors that Liverpool will send a proposal to recruit Crystal Palace star and England team Marc Guehi.
Palace are not under any financial pressure to sell Guehi, who had previously received attention from Newcastle and his former club Chelsea.
But there is still a risk that Guehi will leave Selhurst Park on a free transfer next summer. The centre-back does not seem to intend to extend his contract with Newcastle, and the team is still waiting to see whether UEFA will allow them to participate in the Europa League next season.
Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool after failing to make his mark in two seasons at Anfield. Atletico Madrid are among the teams linked with the Uruguayan striker, despite having Julian Alvarez and a deal that could be beyond their financial capacity.
And Harvey Elliott is also mentioned as another player who could leave if Liverpool receive an attractive offer.
In any case, the Reds are comfortable referring to the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations (PSR), thanks to player sales and business operations in recent years. Last season, they could still win the Premier League even if they did not buy many players.
After winning the Premier League in his first season at Anfield, Slot said "this is just the beginning of further success". The Dutch strategist wants the club to have a "big team mentality" to aim for more sustainable success.
"Many teams have won the Premier League, but not many teams can win many consecutive seasons," Slot said. Therefore, spending hundreds of millions of pounds to continuously upgrade the squad will be the focus of this strategist.
