Liverpool paid out £160.85million on new signings this summer with £35.75million recouped in sales.

The Reds' net spend was £125.1million based on fees that are guaranteed rather than add-ons or options that have yet to be triggered.

If all the add-ons based on appearances and success are met then Liverpool's outlay for the deals done for Naby Keita, Fabinho, Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri in the summer of 2018 will rise to £174.35million.

The figure banked for outgoings could climb to £45million if Loris Karius' initial loan to Besiktas becomes permanent. It would have been considerably higher had a number of fringe players accepted moves away from Anfield.

Liverpool agreed a £22million plus add-ons deal with Wolves for Divock Origi but the Belgium international wasn't keen on joining the Premier League new boys. Talks were held with Borussia Dortmund but they wouldn't meet the asking price and the striker ended up staying put.

Pedro Chirivella turned down a £3.5million switch to Rosenborg and Lazar Markovic's £2.9million move to Anderlecht collapsed after he failed to agree personal terms on Friday night.

Liverpool did bank a £1million loan fee from Derby County for Harry Wilson, while fellow gifted youngsters Ben Woodburn (Sheffield United), Ryan Kent (Rangers), Ovie Ejaria (Rangers) and Sheyi Ojo (Stade de Reims) were also loaned out to further their development.

Contract renewals will help ensure the players' value is protected and there will be hefty financial penalties if they don't play sufficient games. Bristol City's failure to start Kent last season is understood to have cost them around £500,000.
