We comment on the English championship week at the Premier GSP. Today, 20:30, we return to all faces the Mercato moves and preface what is announced to be a spectacular season.
It rarely happens that the team that wins Premier League to move massively in the next transfer period.
But Fix that made Liverpool this summer, contrary to the assurances offered by coach Arne Slot After the last stage of the previous season: “you will probably not see radical changes.”
Almost 3 months later, Liverpool is unrecognizable. Four of the newcomers started the season as holders and will probably continue with the same status. Familiar faces such as Darwin Nunez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz left, and the locker room will rejuvenate even more once the transfer of the Giovanni Leoni stop will be formalized.

“Anomaly” this summer: Liverpool, number 1 of the Premier League as money on transfers
It is The greatest financial effort made in the Premier League this summeran anomaly since we talk about the champion team.
It has been 6 years since the last time had happened for the champion band to run the summer investment rankingas The Athletic shows. Then, Manchester City, whose supremacy was threatened by Liverpool, paid over 166 million euros for 6 players.
The previous one of such a moment in the last 20 years dates back to 2007, with Manchester United bringing Nani, Carlos Tevez, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves.
279.6 million eurosChelsea spent, the second largest amount at the Premier League level. The Londoners brought 8 people with this money
Have also sold for a lot of money
Liverpool has lost or chosen to sell some important people: Luis Diaz went to Bayern for 70 million euros, Darwin Nunez was sold at Al Hilal with 53 million, Jarrel Quansah passed to Leverkusen for 35 million, and Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips They brought, cumulatively, another 38 million euros.
The amount obtained from these sales is remarkable: 196 million euroswith only 98 million less than the newcomers cost.
The “cormorants” lost one of them as a result of Diogo Jota's death, extinguished in a road accident.
With Leoni, Guehi and Isak they would reach 500 million!
Although they have already assumed that they will remove 294 million euros from the accounts, Liverpool's leaders do not stop here and want to bring Arne players to two positions still discovered:
-
The central defender, where Arne Slot was left with Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez. Giovanni Leoni is as resolved, and Anfield could reach Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace;
-
The central striker, where Hugo Ekitike is the only solution. The great target is Alexander Isak, the Swedish who clearly said he does not want to continue in Newcastle.
Leoni will cost around 30 million euros. With Guehi and Isak, it would be a transfer campaign of over 500 million!
