Liverpool has already made a number of expensive transfers in this transfer window.
Lent.az, citing foreign media, reports that Kerkez (Bournemouth), Frimpong, Wirtz (both from Bayer) and Hugo Ekitike have joined the club.
The total amount spent by the English club is almost £300 million. Will they have any problems with UEFA financial fair play rules?
It is worth recalling that the Premier League has domestic profitability and sustainability rules (PSR), and most clubs in the league suffer from this. They limit team losses to £105 million over three years, otherwise there will be a penalty. Nottingham Forest and Everton have already felt this – points have been deducted.
But Liverpool fans have nothing to worry about.
According to TBR Football, the club has benefited from Fenway Sports Group's (FSG) extension of a £350 million revolving credit facility, which was due to expire this month, by £50 million, despite the club not taking out any debt.
Theoretically, Liverpool has an additional £90 million to spend under PSR rules.
Even if Liverpool sign Isak for an astronomical £150 million, that fee will be amortized over five years, meaning it will only cost the club £30 million this year.
Moreover, the Reds have been quite cautious in the transfer market in recent years, maintaining the balance or not buying too many players at all. In addition, Liverpool has several expensive assets that could leave in the near future - Luis Dias and Darwin Nunez.
