"Liverpool were very active in the summer transfer window, adding Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez to Arne Slot's arsenal. They also wanted to reinforce defensively but fell short with a bid for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. With a little more in the way of ready cash, the Reds might have felt better equipped to get their man."
"Sales of academy players brought in around 100 million in transfer fees during the summer transfer window, a number that will increase when Aston Villa's obligation to buy Harvey Elliott next year comes into play. Strip away the various complexities of accounting for the true amounts invested in youth players and it stands to reason that investment in high-quality youth facilities can make top clubs a lot of money in the long run"
Liverpool signed Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez in a busy summer window while failing to secure Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. Sales of academy graduates produced around £100 million in fees and will rise when Aston Villa's obligation to buy Harvey Elliott is triggered. The club plans a £20m redevelopment of the Kirkby youth training base including a full-size indoor dome, upgraded medical and sports science facilities, a new grass centre pitch and a spectator stand. The investment aims to boost youth development, generate future transfer income and strengthen long-term squad competitiveness.
