"We'll start with by far the biggest spenders, Liverpool. Only time will tell if this truly is the greatest transfer window of all time (as some excited individuals have claimed), but it's certainly an eye-popping haul of players. The Reds broke the British transfer record twice this summer, first to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen for £100m plus a potential £16m in add-ons, then again on deadline day to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for £130m."
"Outside of these two monster deals, they also scooped up Hugo Ekitike for £69m, Milos Kerkez for £40m, Jeremie Frimpong for £29m and Giovani Leoni for £26m. All of this business supplements a title-winning squad that secured Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to new contracts earlier in the summer. As usual, they played the exits game tremendously well too, raising over £200m in proceeds on players like Luis Díaz, Jarell Quansah, Darwin Núñez and more."
The 2025 summer transfer window has closed for Europe's biggest clubs and leagues, with no further business until January. The Premier League again broke overall spending records as clubs, players, managers and agents now assess outcomes. Some parties achieved their objectives while others missed opportunities. Liverpool emerged as the biggest spenders, breaking the British transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while also adding several other high-fee signings and securing Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to new contracts. The club offset spending by raising over £200m through player sales, and now faces the task of integrating numerous new players.
