Liverpool have splashed some serious cash in the transfer window, but they've also recouped a big chunk of their summer spend through player sales after sanctioning Tyler Morton's move to Lyon.

The Premier League champions have significantly strengthened the squad that made Arne Slot's maiden season at the helm one to remember by capturing Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike this summer.

Those deals have added up, though, with Wirtz alone arriving for a package worth a British record £116million.

Further signings are expected before the transfer window shuts next month, too, with outgoings helping to fund them.

The Echo outlines that Morton's move to Lyon has netted Liverpool a cool £15m including add-ons.

The Reds also retain a 20 per cent sell-on fee and will stand to profit if the young midfield thrives in France and moves again.

Morton follows Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher, Nat Phillips, Jarell Quansah and Luis Diaz in being sold this summer, with those deals raising a huge £145m.

But again, more are forthcoming.

Darwin Nunez has agreed terms on a switch to Al-Hilal which will see the Saudi Pro League side part with £46m, though add-ons will see that figure rise substantially.

And Federico Chiesa will follow Nunez out the door after hardly featuring at all under Slot following his bargain move from Juventus last summer.

All of those outgoings could help Liverpool land their top transfer target before 1 September: Alexander Isak.

The Newcastle star is keen on the idea of moving to Anfield this summer but his club have no appetite to sell their top striker.

Relations between the club and Isak, 25, have soured, though, after he went to Spain to train alone last week.

The Sweden international was instructed to train alone on Wednesday and was not invited to a player-family bonding event earlier in the day.

Newcastle will not consider a sale unless they can bring in quality reinforcements but they look set to miss out on a deal for Benjamin Sesko, with the Slovenian favouring a move to Manchester United.

The Magpies have also missed out on other attacking targets during what has been a difficult summer transfer window, including Ekitike, Liam Delap and Bryan Mbeumo.
