Liverpool has embarked on an extraordinary summer spending spree, splashing close to €500 million on new signings.
The club’s acquisitions include Florian Wirtz (€117.5m), Hugo Ekitike (€95m), Alexander Isak (€150m), Milos Kerkez (€40m), Jeremie Frimpong (€40m), Giovanni Leoni (€35m), and Armin Pecsi (€1.78m).
This massive outlay almost equals the combined transfer expenditure of all 20 La Liga clubs, who together have spent around €600 million this summer — including heavyweights Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Villarreal.
The contrast reflects Spain’s strict enforcement of Financial Fair Play rules, while also underscoring the financial muscle of English Premier League sides, which collectively invested an average of €2 billion in new players during the same transfer window.
