The Reds spent big to get Alisson Becker, Fabinho and Naby Keita, having signed Virgil van Dijk in January. Liverpool would win the UEFA Champions League the following season and then the Premier League.
The difference here is that Liverpool are heading into a massive summer having already won the Premier League. They believe there's more to come from this group, however.
Or at least, the core of this group. There will be plenty of outgoings this summer as Liverpool attempt to overhaul the squad in Arne Slot's image.
The achievements this season, after all, came with Jurgen Klopp's squad. Things will be different going forward.

Liverpool aren't just making a token effort, either. They're going all out, emboldened by Slot's work to date.
And that should see a gigantic spend.
Liverpool to spend over £200m
Reports suggest Liverpool are settled on the two full-backs they want: Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. The former is a fairly straightforward one, too.
Frimpong has reportedly completed a medical at Liverpool. All that's really left is the fee, which will be just shy of £30m thanks to a release clause in the player's contract.
Kerkez is more complicated. Bournemouth want £45m for the player but Liverpool aren't sure about paying all of that. Perhaps they'd be happy to get there through milestones and bonuses but as a guaranteed figure? We're not sure.
Still, Kerkez is the player they're after and the one they're trying to sign.

Rangers appoint former Southampton boss Martin as new head coach
Former Southampton boss Russell Martin is the new man in charge at Rangers (Glyn KIRK) Scottish Premiership club Rangers on Thursday confirmed the appointment of former Southampton boss Russell Martin as their new head coach on a three-year deal. The 39-year-old guided Southampton to promotion to the Premier League last year but was sacked in December following one win from their first 16 games. The club were subsequently relegated. Advertisement Rangers finished last season under the caretaker management of former captain Barry Ferguson, having dismissed Philippe Clement in February. Ex-Scotland defender Martin, who had a short loan spell as a player at Rangers in 2018, faces the daunting task of challenging Celtic, who have just won a 13th Scottish title in 14 seasons. "From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history," he told the club's website. "Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. Advertisement "There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear -- win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of." Martin's arrival is the latest in a series of major changes at the club. An American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises secured a majority shareholding on Friday, while new sporting director Kevin Thelwell officially began work on Monday. Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart, who led the recruitment process alongside Thelwell, said: "Our criteria for our next coach were clear: we wanted a coach who will excel in terms of how we want to play, improve our culture, develop our squad, and ultimately win matches. Russell was the standout candidate." jw/lp

Liverpool are BIG admirers of €30m-rated Spanish jewel
Liverpool are facing uncertainty in the centre-back position. Although Virgil van Dijk has been secured to a contract until 2027, his defensive colleagues are not so sure of their futures. Ibrahima Konate is out of contract in 2026 and so far no breakthrough has been reached in talks over a new deal. If sporting director Richard Hughes doesn't succeed in tying him down then the Frenchman could well be sold this summer. Advertisement Also up for debate are Jarell Quansah and Joe Gomez. Quansah, 22, could be sacrificed if the club manage to attract a decent fee while Gomez might well be sold having come close to joining either Aston Villa or Newcastle last year. If any of those three leaves then it opens a vacancy in the centre of Liverpool's defence. We've seen Jorrel Hato linked, along with Jarrad Branthwaite and others but there is another name now on the list and one which will be familiar to incoming Reds goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. Liverpool like Cristhian Mosquera Cristhian Mosquera, 20, was outstanding for Valencia in LaLiga last season. The Spanish defender played 37 times for Los Che - ranking highly on FOTMOB for tackles won, duels won, interceptions and recoveries. Advertisement Mosquera has a contract which expires at the Mestalla in 2026 and this summer the club could be prepared to listen to transfer offers for their homegrown star. And now according to a new report on Caught Offside, Liverpool are tracking the youngster - although he could end up at RB Leipzig as a stepping stone before going to the Premier League. 'Liverpool are big admirers of Mosquera, who is also on Chelsea's radar and whose asking price would be in the region of €30m,' a report reads. Mosquera likely to go to Leipzig 'Tottenham, Crystal Palace and West Ham have also been monitoring Mosquera, but it's currently felt that he's leaning towards a move to RB Leipzig. Advertisement 'The player and his representatives feel he could be best served by a move to the Bundesliga before perhaps joining a top English club later.' Leipzig have successfully offloaded players like Konate, Naby Keita and Dominik Szoboszlai to the Reds over the years and if Mosquera follows suit then in the years ahead they could be back once again.
