Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bold move for Alexander Isak, with offered fees ranging from £120 million to a possible £150 million.
Is this a realistic move for the Reds? Let’s find out.
A. Huge Cash Flow from Success and Commercial Deals
- After winning the Premier League last season, Liverpool pocketed £175 million in prize money.
- A new kit deal with Adidas delivers approximately £60 million per year.
- Additional income from matchday sales and commercial partnerships pushes annual revenue above £700 million.
That means Liverpool have strong cash flow—despite a big summer spending.

B. Smart Budgeting via PSR Rules
Premier League rules allow clubs to lose up to £105 million over three years.
Liverpool have built up a surplus buffer by spending very little in past seasons–£35 million in 2023‑24 and minimal net spend over several years.
If they sign Isak for £120m over five years, only £24m per season applies to the books.
That keeps them well within the league’s loss limits.
C. Big Sales Could Open More Room
Liverpool are likely to sell key players to fund the deal. Names mentioned include:
- Darwin Núñez (£50–60 m)
- Luis Díaz (£60–70 m)
- Caoimhín Kelleher (sold for £18 m)
Other departures like Quansah or Robertson may follow.
These sales would free up wages and generate cash—making room for Isak’s fee and salary.
D. Wages Fit the Structure
Despite heavy summer spending (including Florian Wirtz for ~£100m, Kerkez, Frimpong, and Mamardashvili), Liverpool still have wage flexibility.
Isak’s reported wage demand of £300k/week would be high, but Liverpool could absorb it—especially once fringe players depart.
E. Extra Financial Flexibility via Credit Facility
Liverpool benefit from a £350m revolving credit facility (extended in 2024), which counts as “secure funding” under PSR guidelines.
This gives them £90m additional headroom to spend on transfers like this without breaching rules.
✅ Final Verdict
Yes—Liverpool can afford Alexander Isak.
Their strong revenues, buffer built from past financial years, smart amortisation accounting, and player sales create enough space.
Even a club-record £120–150m fee plus £300k/week wages fits into their strategy without breaking league rules.
