Liverpool have proven themselves as one of the biggest football clubs in the world during the 2025-26 summer transfer window.
The Reds managed to fend off the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester City in order to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, with the club breaking their record fee in the process.
However, they didn’t stop there as they also chose to bring in both Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in order to strengthen their back four even more.

And, although all these additions have forced Liverpool to spend almost £200million this summer, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to be stopping there.
Jermaine Pennant lauds Liverpool for their move towards Alexander Isak
Since the summer transfer window opened at the start of June, Alexander Isak has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
The Sweden international was seen as Arne Slot’s dream striker target this summer, with the Anfield outfit looking to add a regular scoring number nine to their ranks.
And, on Tuesday afternoon, Liverpool made their first approach to Newcastle to see if a deal could be struck between the two clubs regarding a potential move.
This sparked all sorts of reactions from across the globe, with Jermaine Pennant and Jamie O’Hara left in awe of the work that the reigning Premier League champions were doing.

“A signing like Isak, that is huge, because he’s the best striker in the Premier League without a doubt,” Pennant said.
Jamie O’Hara then replied with: “I mean look, there’s no guarantees in life but I think if you put this team together that they’ve put together, Florian Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez and you bring in Isak as well, you’ve tied down Salah you’ve got Van Dijk, I mean we are looking at a super team.”
Signing Alexander Isak would be a major statement of intent from Liverpool
Throughout the transfer window, it’s been clear that Liverpool are in the market for a new striker with players such as Joao Pedro and Hugo Ekitike among those linked.
And, even though Newcastle have stood firm and said that Isak isn’t for sale, if the striker’s head is turned by the Reds’ interest, it’ll be hard for Eddie Howe to stop him from pursuing the move.

Most fans likely expected Liverpool to add just one or two more low-cost players to their ranks this summer, but instead, it’s been the exact opposite.
If Slot and Richard Hughes do somehow manage to pull off the transfer of Isak, there’s no denying that this will be one of the Merseyside outfit’s best-ever transfer windows, with it also being a major statement of intent on their behalf.
