Overview

• Alexander Isak joined for a British‑record £125m and will be eased in after missing pre-season, with Slot signaling limited minutes early on.
• Slot outlined Liverpool’s transfer model, crediting player trading and last season’s title windfall for a near-£445m recruitment drive.
• Florian Wirtz cost an initial £100m, with up to £16m in add-ons reportedly triggered only by four Premier League or Champions League titles during his spell, and the initial fee spread over five equal payments.
• Liverpool’s pursuit of Marc Guehi collapsed late on Deadline Day after a medical began, as Crystal Palace could not secure a replacement, and Slot left the door open for a future move.
• Reports suggest Ibrahima Konaté may not renew and could move to Real Madrid on a free, though this remains single-source and unconfirmed.
