Overview

• Reporting tallies roughly £710m of total business across incoming and outgoing deals as the club completed a comprehensive summer overhaul.
• Liverpool broke the British transfer record twice, signing Florian Wirtz for a fee rising to £116m and landing Alexander Isak for £125m on deadline day.
• Wirtz’s package includes £100m paid in five equal instalments and a further £16m only if Liverpool win the Premier League and/or the Champions League four times during his time at the club.
• Recruitment skewed young, with every signing except goalkeeper Freddie Woodman aged 25 or under as part of a succession plan.
• High-profile exits, including Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid and sales of Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz, helped fund the rebuild, while Real Madrid did not seriously contest Liverpool for key targets.
