Liverpool FC, the defending EPL champions, only seem to have improved their squad ahead of the 2025-26 season. Liverpool meant business this summer when seeking to further establish their domestic dominance and embark on a serious UEFA Champions League campaign. Given Liverpool were the reigning domestic champions, their summer transfer window has seen the club add five players to the squad, introducing world-class quality and increasingly young prospects to an already elite team.
This piece gives a summary of Liverpool’s five major signings during the summer 2025 transfer window, which include two players from Bayer Leverkusen, one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga and a developing teenage prospect.
Here are the 5 signings of Liverpool this summer in 2025.
1. Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen): £116 million
In what is arguably the marquee signing of the window, the German attacking midfielder, Florian Wirtz, arrives from Bayer Leverkusen for £116 million. Being one of the brightest young attacking midfielder talents in Germany, Wirtz provides world-class vision, creativity, and a fairly consistent output of goals. At just 22 years of age, Wirtz is expected to develop into a key figure in the Liverpool midfield and possess the characteristics of the complete midfielder who can break down the final defence and link up to the formidable attack above him. His signing is a testament to Liverpool’s relentless desire to stay above the curve at the elite level.
2. Milos Kerkez (AFC Bournemouth): £40 million
Hungarian full-back Milos Kerkez has been brought in from Bournemouth to shore up the left side of defence for £40 million. Fiercely combative in his tackling, quick, and has a penchant for attacking overlaps, the 21-year-old will bring youthful exuberance and depth to the full-back position. Having already played in the Premier League, Kerkez shouldn’t take long to get up to speed.
3. Jeremie Frimpong (Bayer Leverkusen): £29.5 million
Liverpool have another new face in Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million. The Dutch right-back is a very rapid player with flair and attacking runs, in a perfect fit for Liverpool’s high-tempo style. Frimpong provides a lot of versatility as a traditional full-back or a wing-back and helps create tactical opportunities and attacking width for Liverpool’s new manager.

4. Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia CF): £29 million
The final goalkeeper signing is Georgia’s Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for £29 million. The 6’6″ international is imposing, possesses great shot-stopping ability, and has an enlightening distribution style and awareness. The club has signed him to make him a number 1 in the future, as well as they will utilise him now as an adequate replacement for Alisson Becker, wherever possible. This is a signing made with squad depth and planning for the future in mind.
5. Armin Pecsi (Puskás Akadémia): £1.5 million
The last signing is 20-year-old Hungarian midfielder Armin Pecsi, for £1.5 million from Puskás Akadémia in Hungary. Although relatively unknown at this stage, Pecsi is very much a long-term acquisition with good technical quality and tactical awareness. He is expected to join Liverpool in either the youth squad or the U21 squad, with the prospect of developing into a senior team player in the future.
What to Expect This Season from Liverpool
As Premier League champions, Liverpool’s summer recruitment consists of gaining immediate quality alongside development approaches for the future. Wirtz, Frimpong, and Kerkez add pace, intelligent thought processes, and elite levels of experience in important areas. Mamardashvili will be a solidifying presence in goal for years to come, and Pecsi shows that Liverpool’s commitment to talent development and progression can continue.
Liverpool is not simply assembling a team to defend their championship title – they are laying the groundwork for domination in multiple competitions.
Conclusion
Liverpool’s summer transfer window in 2025 makes a statement: the club intends to stay at the top of English football while also shoring up the future in conjunction with an identified group of future stars. The Reds have paid out more than £215 million in transfer activity and made sound choices in terms of creating depth, competition for places, and quality.
