Brendan Rodgers used the checkbook.
If Liverpool fall short of their targets this season then you can’t accuse John Henry of failing to back his manager in the transfer window.
Last season was disappointing for everyone at Anfield but the Reds’ resolute win at Stoke was a welcomed boost that should help those new faces at the club settle into their new home.
Benteke, Ings, Clyne and Firmino represented the bulk of Rodgers’ €110m outlay, an amount that means Liverpool are the biggest spenders in Europe so far in this window.
Valencia and Atletico Madrid are close behind while Man Utd, PSG and Juventus have all invested heavily as seen in this graph provided by Marca.
Liverpool lead the way in spending this summer (€110m), followed by Valencia in 2nd (€109m) & Atletico 3rd (€104m). pic.twitter.com/zTfzQCpS6E
