While the historic decades of the 1970s and the 1980s will no doubt blow this current period out of the water, many fans will never have known a season like this one before.

Liverpool's success between 2018-20 was footballing perfection for the Reds, winning a Champions League at the second time of asking in two years and winning the Premier League after having notched two of the four highest points totals this country has ever seen.

But this campaign under Arne Slot will be remembered for a load of entirely different reasons and the vibes around the club throughout April and May 2025 have arguably been the best they've ever been.

2024/25 - a season to be remembered for a multitude of reasons

We'll start with April 10, the day that the club announced Mohamed Salah's contract extension, after months of speculation that we might end up losing the Egyptian King on a free transfer.

All season long, we were encouraged by the eight-season wonder's conversations with the media, as he plead for a new contract while we heard almost no positive news about the negotiations.

But eventually, an agreement was reached to make him the highest paid player in the club's history and we will be able to continue to rely on the winger's attacking output until 2027.

Then a week later on April 17, we received confirmation of the news that Anfield Watch had been aware of for almost five months prior, that Virgil Van Dijk would also sign a contract extension.

He too would be tied down to the club until 2027 and fans were finally allowed to take a deep breathe after months of stress and anxiety. "It was always Liverpool", said the club's Dutch captain.

The Premier League's best defender and forward were going to remain on Merseyside indefinitely for two more years. Regardless of what came next the fans now had a safety blanket to cling on to.

Just a week onwards from that on April 27, we saw the league title mathematically confirmed after the Reds beat Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield to sit 15 points above Arsenal with five games to play.

The atmosphere in the stadium was unlike anything that most Liverpool fans had ever heard before.

From 1-0 down, five goals were scored in response to emphatically put the team in front. After scoring the team's fourth goal, Salah reenacted his post-match selfie tradition with the crowd while the game was still going on - a picture that will forever be iconic within the club's folklore.

The next few weeks were a little up and down. The team lost to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, drew to Arsenal at Anfield and lost to Brighton at the Amex Community stadium. Form dropped off a cliff, yet absolutely no one cared. Arne Slot and the players went on holidays to Ibiza and Dubai respectively, while the fans were partying in the stands whenever a match interrupted their celebrations.

But while everyone else was out enjoying themselves, the club's recruitment department was locked in to negotiations, attempting to get a head-start on this summer's transfer business and on May 17, we were already at a stage where Fabrizio Romano had given his iconic 'Here We Go' to a Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong to become the club's latest recruit at right-back for just €35m.

On that same day, the club also announced a new contract for Conor Bradley, which will keep him on Merseyside for the next four years, safely replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold in one fell swoop.

The 21-year-old Irishman had already shown plenty of potential to become the team's new right-back and now he had been formally approved as the main asset to command the role going forward.

Monday this week then saw Fabrizio Romano announce an update on the club's talks with Milos Kerkez to become the new left-back recruit, with a deal considered to be at the 'advancing' stage.

And now this is where all hell has really broken loose. Florian Wirtz was a player that the club had admired for a number of years, but his status as a Leverkusen player was well understood and the transfer fee that his parent club would demand was going to be astronomical to say the least.

But Manchester City and Bayern Munich were said to be interested and fans began to wonder.

Well, not only did Liverpool enter the race to sign the 22-year-old, but City have since left the race and it has since been reported that we are leading the race to sign him. His visit to Merseyside involved house hunting and Slot is said to have spoken to him, leading him to 'favour Liverpool'.

A suspected £126m transfer - that would break Darwin Nunez's record fee by £41m - is now a distinct possibility. The world class German playmaker could be Liverpool's just in a matter of days.

To add further enjoyment to this remarkable period, Manchester United then lost a Europa League final to Tottenham on Thursday, to give Spurs their first major trophy in 17-years - a loss that has now been compounded by headloss in the rival fanbase that they will finish the season in 16th or 17th.

And then we get to this weekend. On Sunday May 25, the Reds will play Crystal Palace at Anfield, with former manager Jurgen Klopp watching on from the stands, before the club's 20th domestic league title win is crowned with an in-person trophy lift, as euphoria rains down across Liverpool.

The following day, a bus tour with the players will drive through the winding streets of the city as the fans and locals get to watch the trophy be celebrated in what will be an apocalyptic sea of red.

To some Liverpool will have only won the Premier League title this year, but the fans know that these past months have been far more than just that. Statement contract deals have been signed, a historic trophy has been won in Slot's first season, and transfer deals are in full flow before the summer window has even had a chance to open. The future is far more than bright and everyone knows it.
