After a couple of quiet windows, Liverpool went all out in the summer of 2025 to sign players like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
Despite the large transfer outlay, the Reds have endured a mixed 2025/26 season so far, which has failed to see them challenge for the Premier League title and could potentially end without a top-four/five finish.
In terms of their summer additions, most have been firmly integrated into Arne Slot’s matchday squads, though Giovanni Leoni has been injured since August, and Alexander Isak is only just returning to training following his latest knock.
How many goals will Hugo Ekitike end up with this season?

On a more positive note, Hugo Ekitike is being compared to Fernando Torres after hitting 15 goals since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt.
In turn, it perhaps comes as little surprise to see he is one of the few Liverpool summer signings whose market value has increased since he made his debut.
Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni are worth more since joining Liverpool
According to Transfermarkt, the Frenchman had a value of €75m when he first donned a Liverpool shirt on August 10, 2025.
In the present day, Ekitike now has a value of €85m, which works out at an £8.6m increase.

Surprisingly, despite making just one appearance before his injury, Leoni is now worth £6.08m more (€18m at debut vs €25m now).
Though not a summer signing, it’s worth noting that Ryan Gravenberch, €30m vs €90m, has enjoyed the biggest market value increase of any current Liverpool player since his debut for the club.

Florian Wirtz has lost the most market value of Liverpool’s summer signings
As for the remainder of the summer additions, they have all gone down in value since first stepping onto the pitch.
Milos Kerkez has gone from €45m to €40m, even with the Hungarian’s recent improvements.
Jeremie Frimpong, who has been in and out of the team due to injury, has declined by €12m (€50m at debut vs €38m now).
Giorgi Mamardashvili, who arrived in the summer after a deal was agreed in 2024, has lost €2m in value.
But Florian Wirtz’s decline has been by far the biggest. Valued at €140m on his debut, the German has declined by €30m (£26m) since his first appearance.
Interestingly, Isak’s market value has remained exactly the same (€120m).
