He broke through in 2022, following a club record transfer out of Benfica, to score in his first match, the FA Community Shield and perform well across the board, including an injury time brace against Newcastle. However, in his last campaign he was less used by Arne Slotstarting only eight league games and scoring only five goals. The purchase gives a massive push to the summer fundraising efforts of Liverpool to counter almost 300 million of outgoings. Some of the biggest in-coming signings are Florian Wirtz (club record fee) and Hugo Ekitike and a swooped upon £110 million bid for Newcastle player Alexander Isak.

New club, new ambitions
