World's most expensive XI

Liverpool Unveil New Signing Alisson
Liverpool broke the bank to make Alisson the world's most expensive goalkeeper.

Center-back: Virgil van Dijk

Virgil van Djik for Liverpool.
The former Southampton man raised eyebrows when Liverpool broke the transfer market for him.

Transfer: Southampton to Liverpool.

Transfer fee: € 78.80 million

The recent record-breaking signing of Alisson is not the first time Liverpool have shattered the transfer market in a bid to be the best. A throwback to last season, Klopp decided to replenish the leaking Liverpool defense.

And that's when Liverpool turned to the team that they always look up to when buying players - Southampton. However, what no one expected was the amount of money spent to buy the rather efficient Southampton center-back.

Breaking all previous records, Liverpool shelled out € 78.80 million to bring in van Dijk who played a big hand in helping Liverpool reach the finals of UEFA Champions League last season. Although there were brief lapses of concentration, van Dijk's contribution cannot be questioned.
