Florian Wirtz was signed for £116 million ($157.2 million), Hugo Ekitike could cost up to £79 million ($107.1 million), and Alexander Isak made his way to Merseyside on deadline day for £125 million ($169.4 million).

However, Liverpool managed to recoup half of what it spent through player sales.

FIFA allowed member associations an "exceptional registration window" from June 1 to 10 so that any early deals could be finalized before the tournament's start date on June 16.



Due to Real's participation in the competition, the England international joined the Spanish giants a month early in a deal that could net Liverpool £10 million ($13.6 million).



The "exceptional registration window" in June also encouraged others not even competing in the Club World Cup to wrap up deals well ahead of the new season.

Liverpool, somehow, managed to get a transfer fee for Trent Alexander-Arnold

The full-back was signed from Bayer Leverkusen for his release clause of £29.5 million ($40 million).

"It went quite easy," said Frimpong after signing for Liverpool

Thank you guys for accepting me, and I won’t let you guys down, and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want."

In addition to this, the Reds swiftly completed two more transactions, selling Caoimhin Kelleher to Brentford for £18 million ($24.4 million) and acquiring goalkeeping prospect Armin Pecsi from Puskas Akademia for a cool £1.5 million ($2 million).

"I don't think it was very difficult for me to leave (Liverpool)," said Kelleher

Once I knew Brentford was in for me, it was definitely one I was really excited about and wanted to do as quickly as possible."

Nonetheless, with the next Club World Cup not scheduled until 2029, the transfer window is expected to operate as usual next summer - denying Liverpool the chance to repeat this transfer trick.
