Liverpool may have been in glory after winning the Premier League title. They made complete opposition.
The Reds, who were willing to party in Ibiza and Dubai, have come to life during their transfer period and already secured a set of outstanding signatures.
The loss of Trent Alexander Arnold was a bitter medicine to swallow, but when Jeremy Fripon takes him to the field for the first time as a Liverpool player, they will forget everything about the red of their childhood.
On the other side of the defense, Milos Kerquez arrives from Bournemouth and aims to evoke the memories of the young Andy Robertson.
However, the most special move was Florian Whartz. Wow, this was a contract. Signing the Premier League record and at £116 million, he is considered one of the best 10 in the game by Bayer Leverkusen.
It’s a big statement to the rest of the department, but Anfield’s outfit hasn’t been made yet.
Liverpool approaches another new signature
When a Reds supporter chooses one player and signs it, then closes the window, it becomes Alexander Isak.
If Darwin Nunes sets off for Naples as widely anticipated, FSG and Richard Hughes still have money to spend. However, despite Newcastle’s interest in the forward direction, it is unlikely that anyone in European football will be able to approach the £200 million price tag slapped on his head.
Liverpool still need to sign the strikers, but their latest focus has been to attract the attention of Real Madrid and try to revamp the centre of their defense as the future of Ibrahima Konate is uncertain.
As a result, Liverpool had been considering adding Crystal Palace Captain Mark Guech to their ranks in a report that showed that personal terms had been agreed a few days ago.
This weekend, Miller said the move is even closer to completion. They suggest that the red is a “prime position” to complete the movement, and that “all speakers between parties will take place in the next 24 hours.”
The Palace cherishes the centre half for £700 million, but with a year remaining in his deal, they admit that they have to accept lower fees. Chelsea holds a 20% sell-on clause, so the Eagles are obviously trying to get the best rate.
How Guehi recreates the blindness of Liverpool’s transfer window
Recruiting players from the Premier League is a wise strategy. Knowing the sector and country, they take almost time to speed up, often quickly running to the ground.
This is the strategy that Manchester United often deploys under Ir Alex Ferguson, with two of the most notable names being Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney, who have arrived from Leeds United and Everton, respectively.
This tactic has been developed in recent years by Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta. Declan Rice was signed by West Ham for £105 million, while Golden Keeper David Raya was the winner of the 2024/25 Golden Globes and came from Brentford.
They settled down quickly and the adjustment time was very minimal. Liverpool also earned a reward for this.
Consider the aforementioned Robertson: Hull City, Gini Weinardoum of Newcastle United, and Diogo Jota of Wolves. All three of these players were told as particularly consistent and unnamed heroes.

There was also Sadiomane, one of the greatest modern forwards I’ve seen at Anfield since the turn of the millennium.
In 2016, Liverpool purged Southampton to bring it to the money side in transactions worth £34 million.
In the 2015/16 season, the Senegalese winger was particularly eye-catching, scoring 15 goals in all competitions and registering seven assists. Three of these goals included the famous hat-trick against Manchester City.
After moving to the Reds, Mane ran to the ground instantly and scored 13 Premier League goals on 27 outings during his debut campaign. The rest was history.
Senegal International moved to Bayern Munich in 2022, winning 120 times with 269 outings, simply moving the colours of Liverpool.
Guehi, a trade hub, has arrived in Liverpool and is not planning on starting scoring on the bucket road, just like Mane, but he could soon become a fan favorite.
He knows the division and knows that his British football experience so far has been a fierce success from his escape.
A year ago, the defender took the best shape at the European Championships, and after some said that he was “England’s best centre-back,” it was probably surprising that his move hadn’t happened before.
Well, Liverpool is here now. They are ready to sign one of the best players outside the league’s typical top six, just like Money.
He was very eye-catching, especially his ability to read the plays. In the 2024/25 Premier League, 24-year-olds ranked within the top 20% of positionally similar players in blocks per 90 minutes (1.62) and the highest 3% in passes blocked per 90 (0.94).
Guehi also recovers 4.30 balls per 90, which is enough to rank him in the top 21% of the UK’s best league centre-backs.
Ball recovery is defined by the number of loose balls recovered by the player.
Let’s put those numbers in the context. Skipper Virgil Van Dijk blocked 0.11 passes per 90 minutes and 0.11 passes. He also made only 3.77 ball recovery. Of course, the palace has more defenses than Liverpool, but it proves that if Guech leaves Selhurst Park, Guech is set to be a huge hit.
The Reds have proven successful purchases from the Premier League, and they can repeat that trick here. In the words of Palace reporter Bobby Manji, he is a “monster of defense” and will be a great signature.
