Season review[]
Pre-season[]
Liverpool's 2018–19 pre-season kicked off with its second signing (the first being Naby Keïta, a deal finalized before last season) to the squad for the season with the transfer of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho from French club AS Monaco, a deal which became official on 1 July. Liverpool seemed set for their third signing as reliable club sources like journalist Paul Joyce confirmed Liverpool had reached a deal with French club Lyon for their captain, Nabil Fekir. The club, however, while confirming negotiations were ongoing, announced that Fekir would be remaining at Lyon. On 10 July, Liverpool formally announced their third signing of the summer; Swiss winger Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke City, signing him for £13m, his reported release clause. On 19 July, Liverpool confirmed their fourth signing of the summer in Alisson for a fee of £56m, making him the most expensive goalkeeper in history.
