Its saga picked up early in summer, but was not announced till two hours after Monday’s 19:00 BST transfer deadline.
Liverpool made the first bid on 1 August. The offer of £ 110m was rapidly rejected.
What happened next is not completely clear.
Just two weeks ago, during the annual award ceremony of the Professional Footballors Association, it excluded an Instagram post, stating that Newcastle broke the promises from him, not giving it to him.
Newcastle hit his own player back. But then both parties became silent.
Sources told the BBC Sport that Liverpool would not bid again until Newcastle signed two strikers.
And this was what happened.
At some point, it would be coming together between the in -charge of two clubs to work out of the front path.
On Saturday, Newcasal signed a club record of striker Nick Voltame from Stuttgart for £ 69m.
In the early hours of the deadline, it was discovered that the £ 125M bid of Liverpool was accepted.
A few 21 hours later, Newcastle announced a deal of £ 55M for Brentford forward Yone Visa, its move finally confirmed and the British record was broken.
This meant that Liverpool spent around £ 200m on strikers after purchasing Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt in July.
They did not go in summer with the need to sign two forward. However, his close season was seen by the most devastating news.
His beloved Portuguese further Dogo Jota died in a car accident in July.
This is the first and a tragedy for your family and friends.
This also meant that Liverpool had to be converted into his team.
They have done so, but will never be forgotten by Jota Club.
And it cannot be ignored that for all things of record expenses, Reds are defending their title this season, which is against the background of immense grief and sadness.
