Liverpool have managed to build substantial financial leverage this summer through a series of mega player sales, enabling them to pursue high-profile signings such as Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi. The club's approach involves reinvesting the hefty sums gained from outgoing transfers into strengthening their squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

This summer, Liverpool have already spent close to £300 million on new players, including significant investments in full-backs and goalkeepers, alongside breaking the British transfer record for Florian Wirtz. Despite this heavy expenditure, Liverpool remain confident in their ability to close deals for targets like Isak and Guehi, thanks partly to balancing costs with income from player sales.

Marc Guehi's transfer is nearing completion with personal terms agreed between the player and Liverpool. The main hurdle remains the valuation gap between Liverpool and Crystal Palace, which is reportedly only around £5 million. Should this gap be bridged, Guehi is set to become Liverpool's 10th signing this summer, bolstering their defensive options after an opening day victory that highlighted defensive areas needing improvement.

The strategy of funding new acquisitions by offloading players has allowed Liverpool to maintain competitiveness while managing their finances effectively. This financial approach is described as a “king-making” tactic, ensuring the club's ability to remain challengers in the Premier League title race and European competition by refreshing their squad with both experienced and young talent.
