Top 10 clubs that increased the overall value of their squad in the transfer market

7) Liverpool: Increased by €237m

Liverpool’s Brazilian duo are their most valuable assets

Expenditure: €356m

Value: €593m

Once a domestic power and European superpower, the Anfield club has seen better days. Since their second place finish in 2008/09, they have finished in the top four only once more – the season Steven Gerrard let it slip. They have never won the Premier League either.

But under new boss Jurgen Klopp, they seem to have made some sort of progress. Without midweek European matches to clutter their schedule, the Reds have managed to get back in the top four for the time being.

The two Brazilians in attack – Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho (both £29.8m) – are currently their most valuable players. Of course, if Liverpool did sell them, they would easily cost double that price considering they are contracted to the club till the summer of 2020.

Other players whose market values have risen include Jordan Henderson (£23.8m), Sadio Mane (£25.5m) and Georginio Wijnaldum (£18.7m). Again, they will ot be sold so cheap.
