Liverpool may seem to have broken the bank with record-breaking movement for Florian Wirtz, but three sales and quiet summer last year means that the Premier League champions can continue to publish free
Liverpool may have already spent £ 150 million on Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong, with Milos Kerkez who cost another £ 45 million when he arrived from Bournemouth in the coming days – but the Premier League champions can continue to spend if they try to rest Arne Slot with a squad that is possible to retain their title.
The fact that they barely spent last summer certainly helped, but in the era of PSR and amoritization they effectively covered the immediate costs of their company with Bayer Leverkusen by selling Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah for a combined £ 61.5 m.
This year's accounts will show that figure in full, while the initial reimbursement of £ 100 million for Wirtz, excluding performance-related add-ons, will be spread over the five years of his contract, with Frimpong's price tag of £ 29.5 million spread over the same amount of time. Similar will apply to Hungary full back Kerkez.
And in the most basic terms with which the Reds can continue to split.
As soon as the move for Kerkez is completed, Liverpool is expected to move their focus to adding a new center to talking about a bid that is submitted for the Crystal Palace and England star Marc Guehi.
Palace is not a financial pressure to sell Guehi, who has previously been interested in Newcastle United and his former club Chelsea.
But there is a risk that he could leave Selhurst Park on a free next summer, whereby the captain will probably not sign a new deal for the FA Cup winners, who will continue to wait and see if they are being released to compete in the Europa League of the following season by UEFA.
Darwin Nunez is now being tipped to have Liverpool had in two seasons in the club. Atletico Madrid belongs to those who are associated with Uruguay No. 9, although they already have Julian Alvarez and may be an agreement outside their financial reach.
And Harvey Elliott is also mentioned in dispatches as another that could leave, a significant offer must be added.
Anyway, Liverpool remains comfortable when it comes to PSR thanks to their departure and companies in recent years, and used their self-sufficient model, smart sale and a quiet year that still led to their second Premier League title profit.
