In the summer of 2014, Liverpool spent a whopping ยฃ110m to try and fill the void left by Barcelona-bound Luis Suarez.
The now 34-year-old's best season at Anfield came during the 2016/17 campaign when the Reds qualified for the Champions League thanks to Lallana's impressive total of eight goals and seven assists throughout. Balotelli departed Anfield in the summer of 2015 as he returned to AC Milan on loan and eventually had his contract at Anfield terminated in 2016 as he joined Ligue 1 side Nice. However, for Markovic - and Liverpool - things didn't go to plan as he scored just two Premier League goals during the 14/15 season as he was deployed in a right-wing back role during his most prominent spell in the team. The Italian surprisingly moved to Anfield from AC Milan for ยฃ16m in the summer of 2014, just weeks after Rodgers had seemingly ruled out a move for the controversial forward while on the club's pre-season tour. Having made a total of 185 appearances under the guidance of both Rodgers and Klopp during his time at Anfield, Lovren helped the club win the Champions League and Premier League before departing to Zenit St Petersberg for ยฃ10.9m in the summer of 2020. Hailed as the face of Jurgen Klopp's gengenpressing system following the sacking of the Northern Irishman in late 2015, the German took a huge liking to Lallana during their five years on Merseyside together and used the midfielder 130 times prior to his departure in the summer of 2020.
