6 European clubs who have broken their transfer record already

#2 Liverpool - £36.9m for Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is presently the most expensive African player and Liverpool’s record signing

I am glad that Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah for £36.9m and broke their transfer record because that has finally ended Andy Carroll's six and a half year stint as Liverpool's most expensive signing ever.

By signing Salah, the Reds have not just broken their club record, but also the record for the most expensive African player of all-time. Liverpool bettered their own record (the latter one) established a year ago when they signed Sadio Mane from Southampton for £34m.

The Egyptian winger adds some more pace and directness to Liverpool's game and can be considered a smart acquisition for £36.9m. However, the two records Salah presently holds may not last very long if Liverpool sign Naby Keita as widely reported.

Keita will command a fee over £60m and will thus smash the present record.
