Liverpool spent a record £446m in the summer transfer window, including a British record £125m Deadline Day deal for Alexander Isak; Reds' epic spending explained - as well as how they have navigated PSR restrictions which have hampered other clubs
In a summer which saw Premier League clubs spend unprecedented sums, it was Liverpool who led the way with British-record-breaking deals.
In total, Liverpool spent £446m - the most ever spent by a Premier League club in a single window, eclipsing the £434.5m spent by Chelsea in the summer of 2023
Already top of the Premier League again, the champions completed the three biggest transfers of the summer - Alexander Isak for a record £125m, Florian Wirtz for £116.5m and Hugo Ekitike for £79m.
In fact, the landmark fee for Isak was more than 10 Premier League clubs spent in the entire window. But how, in the era of PSR, did the champions finance such a huge transfer spend?
What were the figures for incomings and outgoings at Liverpool?
The Wirtz package in June was enormous in its own right. A £100m outlay to Bayer Leverkusen with the potential for an extra £16m, which would surpass the previous highest fee paid by an English club, when Chelsea bought Moises Caicedo for £115m in 2023. But that was blown out of the water on Deadline Day, with the stunning £125m agreement with Newcastle for Isak.
It could have been an even bigger day, but Marc Guehi's £35m switch from Crystal Palace dramatically collapsed. But add in the £40m for Milos Kerkez, £29.5m for Jeremie Frimpong, and £29m that has now gone through for Giorgi Mamardashvili and it has been a relentless summer of spending by the Reds.
