Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak are undoubtedly two of the best pieces of transfer business that Liverpool could have pulled off this summer.

It was clear that the Reds’ ranks needed upgrading across the board, that is, even though they won the Premier League title last season.

Players such as Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez were moved on in the summer, with the aforementioned duo getting brought in to replace them.

When the transfer window first opened in June, plenty of rumours about Isak’s future were emerging, but since Liverpool got the deal for Wirtz done so quickly, fans likely didn’t expect to see Liverpool break the British record transfer fee for Isak.

In the end, however, that’s how things panned out with a journalist now sharing a new insight into how the Isak and Wirtz deals look for the Anfield outfit this season.

Liverpool will only spend £51.25m on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak this summer

When both transfer fees are added up, including the add-ons in Wirtz’s deal, the total comes out to around £241million.

And, while this is a small fortune, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards have set up payment plans to make future transfer windows easier for them to conduct.

That is, according to The Times journalist Paul Joyce, who said that both payments will be made in instalments.

Wirtz’s will be five years of equal payments while Isak’s will be spread ‘over four years.’

Joyce then adds that, with this in mind, the transfers of the duo will only cost Liverpool around £51.25million this summer.

Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak will lead Liverpool to the Premier League title

Now that September’s international break is over and done with, Slot will be able to focus on getting all of his players on the same wavelength.

So far this season, Liverpool have played four competitive games, and while they’ve won all three of their Premier League games, they did lose the Community Shield final to Crystal Palace at the start of the season.

As mentioned, even though the Reds have nine points to their name at the moment, there were certainly some dodgy moments throughout each of the clashes.

In fact, there were even moments against all three teams when it felt like the Reds would end up losing.

However, now that Isak has arrived and the rest of Liverpool’s first-team squad have another month to work with one another, things should start to run much more smoothly, which, at the end of the day, is all that Slot could ask for.
