Liverpool fans might be wondering how the club can chase another big-money star after already splashing close to £295 million this summer.

The math might sound tricky, but the numbers tell an interesting story.

With Luis Diaz reportedly heading to Bayern Munich for around £65.6 million, Liverpool have managed to make a net profit for the 2025/26 financial year — at least for now.

That profit gets even sweeter when you factor in that Diaz’s book value was only £17.5 million.

According to The Athletic’s Chris Weatherspoon, “outgoings have probably generated income or produced cost savings this coming season totaling £136 million.”

The incoming expenditure totals up to £295 million, and Weatherspoon calculates it to be around £314 million.

Sales like those of Jarell Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Caoimhin Kelleher have been marked as ‘pure profit’ — a phrase that probably sounds sweeter than “You’ll Never Walk Alone” to FSG accountants.

That financial cushion means a move for Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak — reportedly valued around £150 million — is not off the table.

In fact, Liverpool could even afford to give him a salary bump, possibly touching £300,000 per week, without throwing the balance sheet into chaos.
