2 stars part ways

Liverpool spent £270 million ($361 million) on six new signings without fear of breaching financial regulations. Player sales will be needed to keep the transfers going. However, ESPN reports that they will try to sell Darwin Nunez, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa, generating £80-100 million ($107-134 million) in revenue to sign Isak, who is valued at $200 million.

With Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Hugo Ekitike, Armin Pecsi and Isak joining the club, next season's squad will be shaped. Thus, the Reds will breathe a sigh of relief for the next 2 years with their transfers.

Decision changed

Liverpool were interested in Isak earlier in the transfer window, but moved quickly to sign Ekitike after Newcastle refused to sell the Swede. However, the club backed down when Isak said he wanted to transfer to his current club Newcastle United.
