Liverpool’s most prominent summer deals

Liverpool strengthened its attack and midfield with a number of distinguished deals, the most notable of which were:

• Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for 145 million euros, making it one of the largest Premier League deals in history.

• Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for 125 million euros, with additional variables up to 16.5 million pounds.

• Giovanni Leoni from Parma for 31 million euros.

• Freddie Woodman from Preston via free transfer.

These moves reflect the club management’s ambition to build a team capable of competing at all levels, with a mix of young stars and players with European experience.

The most notable departures from Anfield

The huge spending was also accompanied by the departure of a number of stars, the most prominent of whom were:

• Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid for 10 million euros.

• Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for 70 million euros.

• Darwin Nunez to Al Hilal Saudi Arabia for 53 million euros.

• Ben Duke to Bournemouth for 23.2 million euros.

• Jarrell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen for 35 million euros.

• Koimhin Kelleher to Brentford for 14 million euros.

• In addition to several loans, such as: Harvey Elliott, Kostas Tsimikas, and Vityaslav Jarosz.

These sales contributed to balancing the club’s financial accounts within the limits of profit and sustainability rules.

How did Liverpool finance its record deals?

Liverpool was able to achieve record deals despite financial constraints thanks to:

1. Huge revenues amounted to 614 million pounds sterling in the club’s latest financial report.

2. A huge sponsorship contract with Adidas worth 60 million pounds annually for 10 years.

3. Expansion of Anfield stadium and increased capacity, which boosted ticket and hospitality revenues.

4. Regular participation in the Champions League and competition for local tournaments, which increased the prize money.

Despite the huge spending (446 million pounds), Liverpool’s net spending amounted to 218.4 million pounds, less than Arsenal, which spent 257 million, which reflects tight financial management.

Record numbers and future aspirations

• The Alexander Isak deal amounted to 125 million pounds, more than the total spent by 10 other clubs in the English Premier League during the same period.

• The Florian Wirtz deal is the club’s second-biggest deal ever.

• The management’s success in selling players for huge sums helped finance new deals without affecting the team’s quality or competitive ambition.

This strategy enables Liverpool to maintain its financial balance and continue to strengthen its ranks with the best players in Europe, in preparation for continuing local dominance and competing strongly in European competitions.
