EPL: Liverpool confirmed £190m investment in players

Liverpool's latest financial results confirm they spent £190million on their squad, the biggest investment in players in the club's history.

The Premier League title challengers announced that turnover increased by £90m to £455m in the year to May 31, 2018, while reports have suggested their £125m pre-tax profit is a world record.

The departure of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona raised £137m while club revenues shot up thanks to the Reds' return to the Champions League.

Virgil van Dijk became the world's most expensive defender from Southampton for a reported £75million in January 2018.

Mohamed Salah's arrival from Roma, as well as the signings of Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Dominic Solanke, contributed to a total £190m investment in Jurgen Klopp's squad.

Liverpool have continued to splash the cash since, with Naby Keita, Fabinho, Alisson and Xherdan Shaqiri added for the 2019-20 season, although Solanke was sold to Bournemouth last month.
