Liverpool have secured a big victory off the pitch after it was revealed the club only had to part with a small sum this summer in order to land both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. The Reds signed Wirtz, 22, and Isak, 25, in eye-catching deals which could eventually reach a combined total of £241 million (€278m/$326m).
Liverpool only had to cough up a small first payment for the duo
Liverpool made a total of eight new signings in what proved to be a busy summer transfer window for the club, but it was the deals for both Wirtz and Isak which attracted the most attention. And in a new report from The Times, the structure of both deals meant the star duo arrived for a staggeringly-low combined first payment this summer.
