Liverpool have gone from strength to strength under Jurgen Klopp over the past few years and now have one of the best squads in the Premier League. The Merseyside giants have one of the most well-rounded sides in Europe at the moment and are the favourites to defend their Premier League title this season.
The Reds have had their fair share of troubles this season but have made some shrewd acquisitions in the transfer market and are set to make yet another assault on the UEFA Champions League trophy this season. Liverpool are currently in third place in the Premier League table and have effectively recovered from their shaky start to the season.
Liverpool have experienced extraordinary success over the past few years
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool juggernaut steamrolled their way to the club's first Premier League title in over 30 years last season and will want to maintain their hold over English football over the next few months. The reigning champions have added a few key players to their squad and will want to make a few more improvements as the season progresses.
Liverpool's sporting project over the past few years has worked wonders for the club and has yielded results in terms of both silverware and finance. Jurgen Klopp has some of the most valuable players in the world at his disposal and will rely on them to deliver for his side this season.
#5 Virgil Van Dijk - €80 million
Liverpool's acquisition of Virgil van Dijk broke several records at the time and was widely regarded by sceptics as an impulsive decision. Two years on from his arrival at Liverpool, however, the Dutch defender is considered one of the best defenders in the world.
Liverpool had several problems in defence when Jurgen Klopp took the reins in 2015. The arrival of Virgil van Dijk marked Liverpool's resurgence as a European superpower and made the Reds one of the best defensive outfits in the country.
Liverpool's inadequacies in defence have been evident these past few weeks in the absence of Van Dijk. The Dutchman has emerged as a leader in Liverpool's defensive line and is likely is one of the most highly-rated players in Europe.
#4 Alisson Becker - €80 million
Liverpool had built an excellent side well before they signed Brazilian shot-stopper Alisson but their UEFA Champions League final loss in the 2017-18 season revealed a glaring chink in their armour.
Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius were unlikely to survive at one of the most ambitious clubs in Europe, and Liverpool immediately broke the bank to bring Alisson to the club in the following transfer window.
Liverpool had the best defensive record in the Premier League last season and conceded 33 goals in 38 games over the course of their campaign. The Reds have their Brazilian goalkeeper to thank for much of their success over the past two years and Alisson's €80-million price tag is likely to keep him at Liverpool for the foreseeable future.

#3 Trent Alexander-Arnold - €110 million
Trent Alexander-Arnold has established himself as one of the best full-backs in world football over the past two years. The young English right-back is Liverpool's very own prodigy and endeared himself to a particularly passionate fanbase with some exciting performances last season.
Alexander-Arnold racked up an astonishing 13 assists in the Premier League last season as Liverpool eased their way to the Premier League title. The Englishman has also become the set-piece specialist of his side and has scored four goals in the process.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has not started the 2020-21 season on the most positive of notes but has a long way to go at his boyhood club. The Liverpool defender is one of the most sought-after full-backs in Europe and will want to improve as the season progresses.
#2 Sadio Mane - €120 million
Sadio Mane has been one of Liverpool's unsung heroes over the past few years and is arguably Liverpool's most dangerous player. The Senegalese forward's £34-million transfer from Southampton to Anfield is 2016 is arguably one of the bargains of the decade.
In the past two years, Sadio Mane has grown into an integral part of one of the most lethal attacking tridents in the Premier League. The former Saints star is known for his ability to step up to the plate on the big stage and has delivered against some of the biggest teams in Europe.
Sadio Mane is now valued at an astonishing €120 million in the transfer market and his value is set to rise in the coming months. The wingers features regularly in Jurgen Klopp's outfit and remains an integral part of the Merseyside club.
#1 Mohamed Salah - €120 million
Mohamed Salah is well on his way to becoming a bonafide Liverpool legend. The Egyptian striker has already scored several memorable goals at Anfield and is now well on his way to breaking some longstanding records at the club.
Salah's exploits on Merseyside have effectively created an aura around the supremely talented winger. The former Chelsea winger cost Liverpool only €42 million and is now arguably the most prolific player in the Premier League.
The Liverpool star has won a Premier League title and a UEFA Champions League title with the club and is set to play under Jurgen Klopp for years to come. Salah has a market value of €120 million at the moment and his stock is set to shoot up in the coming years.
