Liverpool’s summer transfer spending is nearing its peak, with the club reportedly set to complete two more signings after Hugo Ekitike’s arrival. Here’s what Liverpool needs to do to wrap up their summer transfer spending:

 

Potential Signings

 

– Alexander Isak: Liverpool is close to signing Newcastle United’s striker, with a potential deal worth £130 million. Isak’s impressive goal-scoring record and skills would make him a valuable addition to Liverpool’s attack.

– Marc Guehi: Crystal Palace’s center-back is a target for Liverpool, with a potential transfer fee of around £35 million. Guehi’s defensive prowess would strengthen Liverpool’s defense, potentially replacing Jarell Quansah.

 

 

Transfer Strategy

 

– Attacking Depth: Liverpool needs to address their attacking depth, particularly with Mohamed Salah’s contract situation uncertain and Darwin Nunez’s potential departure. Signing another attacker, potentially alongside Isak, would be crucial.

– Defensive Strength: With Guehi’s potential arrival, Liverpool would bolster their defense, providing a long-term solution at center-back.

 

 

Financial Situation

 

– Spending Limit: Liverpool can afford to spend approximately £200 million more this summer without breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

– Player Sales: The club needs to recoup funds from player sales to balance their books and satisfy PSR. Potential sales include Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Ibrahima Konate.

 

 

Key Departures

 

– Darwin Nunez: Liverpool might sell Nunez to offset transfer fees for incoming players, with Bayern Munich reportedly interested.

– Luis Diaz: The Colombian winger has attracted interest from German giants Bayern Munich, who have already submitted a £58.5 million bid.

– Ibrahima Konate: Real Madrid target Konate, and his sale could fund other signings.

 

 

Next Steps

 

– Completing Signings: Liverpool needs to finalize deals for Isak and Guehi, while potentially exploring other signings.

– Player Sales: The club must negotiate sales for players like Nunez, Diaz, and Konate to balance their transfer spending.

– Squad Strength: With potential departures and arrivals, Liverpool aims to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, focusing on depth and quality ¹ ².
