The Reds impressed both domestically and in Europe last season, coming within a point of the Premier League title before beating Tottenham in the Champions League final. Clever summer recruitment and sensible sales has seen the Liverpool squad rapidly gain value over the past 12 months while impressive on-field performances have only increased the worth of individual players. The departure of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £140m has proved to be a sound piece of business while acquiring Alisson for £60m and Virgil van Dijk for £75m are absolute bargains. And Jurgen Klopp’s roster of stars is now estimated to be worth a staggering £1bn by Transfermarkt.com, putting the Reds second in Europe, and subsequently the world, when teams are ranked by highest squad value.
