Liverpool have had a huge summer transfer window so far, splashing out more than £300million on fresh faces while raking in almost £200m through player sales.
Big money transfers to Anfield include Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Giorgi Mamardashvili, as the Premier League champions look to revamp their squad for a tilt at a record-breaking 21st top flight title and a seventh Champions League triumph.
Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah, Ben Doak, Caoimhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nat Phillips have all moved on, and there could be more arrivals and departures before the transfer window slams shut, as Arne Slot looks to build on his glorious debut season last term.
The future of Alexander Isak remains uncertain, while squad players like Harvey Elliott and Kostas Tsimikas could still exit. Here's all the latest transfer news from around Anfield.

Liverpool's chase for Swedish goal machine Alexander Isak has received a lift after Wolves boss Vitor Pereira conceded the club might cash in on Newcastle target Jorgen Strand Larsen, reports the Mirror.
Newcastle have already seen two offers turned down for Strand Larsen, 25, who is being eyed as a potential replacement for Isak. Wolves have rejected deals up to £55m for their 25-year-old star striker, but the Magpies are expected to return with an offer of £60m.
When quizzed about the striker's future, Pereira confessed: "I don't know, I'm not the owner.
"Until now, Jorgen is our player, we'll see what happens. Football is football and every player has a price, even [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano [Ronaldo]. We'll see what happens."
Guehi decision

Liverpool are keen to secure the signature of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi before the transfer window shuts, with no 'Plan B' in place if they fail to land their man.
As per the Athletic, Liverpool's pursuit of Guehi, 25, is seen as a 'market opportunity', given that the England international is entering the final year of his contract.
However, the Reds aren't considering any other defenders should they fail to strike a deal with Palace for their captain.
The recent acquisition of Giovanni Leoni, 18, from Parma for £26m means Liverpool now have four centre-back options, but there are worries over Joe Gomez's fitness and Ibrahima Konate's contractual situation.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also says Guehi wants the switch to Merseyside, reporting: "LFC are ready to pay over £30m now to get the deal done… but it depends on Crystal Palace.
"If Palace find replacement and let him go, Guehi already said yes to the Reds."

In other news, RB Leipzig are reportedly eyeing Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, according to the Daily Mail, should Chelsea manage to sign Xavi Simons.
Simons, who has contributed 46 goals in 78 appearances across all competitions for Leipzig, is reportedly eager for a move to Chelsea. Leipzig are believed to value the 22-year-old at around £60m and are open to letting him go.
If a deal can be agreed upon, it's claimed that Elliott is their prime target to fill the void, with Liverpool said to be open to offers in the region of £50m for the 22-year-old England star.
