With Liverpool having signed Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota over the past few days, here is a look at where the two new arrivals feature among the club's most expensive signings of all time.
Thiago, who made a record-breaking debut for the Reds on Sunday, arrived at Anfield from Bayern Munich just two days earlier, signing a four-year deal with the reigning Premier League champions. Jurgen Klopp's side reportedly forked out a fee of £27.4 million (R582 million) in total, which makes the Spain international the club's 12th-most expensive signing of all time.

The Merseysiders' two latest acquisitions means that all but two of the club's priciest players currently play for the club, including all-time record signing Virgil van Dijk. The imperious Netherlands centre-back arrived from Southampton in January 2018 for a club-record deal of £75 million (R1.59 billion), and has gone on to become arguably the world's leading defender.
The 29-year-old Dutchman is closely followed by Brazil star Alisson Becker, who joined joined the Reds from Serie A side AS Roma for a reported sum of £65 million (R1.38 billion) later that year, making him the world's most expensive goalkeeper ever at the time (the record has since been broken following Chelsea's acquisition of Kepa Arrizabalaga).
The top three is rounded out by Guinea midfielder Naby Keita, who cost £52.75 million (R1.12 billion) following his arrival from RB Leipzig in 2018, while the aforementioned Jota and star forward Mohamed Salah, whose deal from Roma was worth £43.9 million (R933 million) in 2017, occupy fourth and fifth places, respectively.
