Details on Liverpool's initial payments for Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz revealed with Reds set to pay staggeringly low sum for £241m 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.

The report states the combined first payments for Wirtz and Isak reached just £51.25m (€59.2m/$69.4m) this summer, with Liverpool set to pay the remainder of the transfer fees in later instalments. Wirtz arrived at Anfield for a guaranteed fee of £100m (€115.5m/$135.5m) with a further £16m (€18.4m/$21.6m) in achievable add-ons, while Isak joined for a British transfer record £125 million (€144.5m/$169.3m) with no add-ons included.

Both players were in action during the recent international break, with Wirtz scoring in Germany's 3-1 victory over Northern Ireland in World Cup qualifying on Sunday. Meanwhile, Isak featured for just 18 minutes as Sweden slipped to a surprise 2-0 defeat against Kosovo on Monday.

Wirtz and Isak will both be looking to make an impact when Liverpool return to Premier League action against Burnley on Sunday. Midfielder Wirtz is still searching for his first league goal or assist since joining Arne Slot's side, while Isak is in line to make his highly-anticipated debut following his fiery departure from Newcastle.
