Overview
- Liverpool spent about £445m on eight signings, headlined by British‑record deals for Alexander Isak (£125m) and Florian Wirtz (initial £100m plus add‑ons).
- Arne Slot confirmed Liverpool were ‘close’ to signing Marc Guehi before Crystal Palace pulled out on Deadline Day, and he declined to predict any January move.
- Reports state Wirtz’s £16m add‑ons activate only if Liverpool win the Premier League or Champions League four times during his spell, with the £100m fee spread across five equal payments.
- Liverpool explored a 2024 swap of Luis Díaz for Julián Álvarez, according to reports, but Manchester City refused to sell to a rival; Díaz later joined Bayern and Álvarez moved to Atlético Madrid.
- Long‑term planning continues with reports of FSG talks to extend Michael Edwards’ role, a buy‑back and pre‑agreed contract to re‑sign Jarell Quansah, and scouting of Michael Olise as a potential Salah successor.
