US EditionTransfer Loophole Means Liverpool Can Sign Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi After Window Closes - Liverpool Echo
Liverpool breaks British transfer record by signing Alexander Isak for £125 million amid a summer spending spree of nearly £450 million, while Marc Guehi's move faces delays.
- Liverpool pursued and completed British-record transfers for Alexander Isak from Newcastle and Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace around the September 1, 2025 deadline.
- These moves followed prolonged negotiations and medicals, with the window officially closing at 7 p.m., but deals could proceed if a deal sheet was lodged in time.
- Liverpool spent an estimated £416 million this summer, breaking previous Premier League club records with signings like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Isak, while Guehi's deal was worth £35 million plus add-ons.
- "Transfer fee is around £125 million" for Isak and Guehi's deal includes a "10 per cent sell-on clause," with official medicals completed on September 1, 2025, enabling the moves to finalize.
- These late transfers suggest Liverpool's strategy to aggressively overhaul the squad while allowing business to continue beyond the window's closure under transfer regulations.
