However, this is Liverpool, as Premier League champions and with a profit forecasted for 2024/25, the financial year that concluded on May 31, aiming to build from a position of strength.
But what could an Isak deal mean for the club in terms of the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules (PSR)?
The answer is quite straightforward.
Liverpool can afford to do more because it earns more, and has managed its finances better than most in recent years, giving itself the financial means to make a significant impact with its business.
Liverpool's financial year ended on May 31 for the 2024/25 period.
In a financial year where the Reds returned to the Champions League, they pocketed over $114M (£85m) for their journey to the last 16.
This was due to an impressive league phase, increased broadcasting revenues and matchday income from five home games.
Coupled with the Premier League victory, which brought in merit payments, equal share payments and facilities fees from both domestic and international markets, the club's financial confidence is evident, with earnings around the $250M (£185m) mark.
The wage bill is set to rise due to new contracts and bonus payments following their Premier League triumph, potentially exceeding $535M (£400m).
However, Liverpool has managed its finances well.
Only Manchester City and Arsenal could have made a deal for Wirtz work this summer in terms of Premier League clubs, considering PSR positions and existing transfer debts that need servicing.
Premier League clubs can incur losses of up to $141M (£105m) over a three-year period, with deductions permitted for investments in infrastructure, the academy, the women's team and community initiatives.
From 2021/22 to 2023/24, the Reds recorded a profit of $9.4M (£7m), a loss of $12M (£9m) and a further loss of $76M (£57m) over the last three years.
