Liverpool have officially completed the signing of striker Alexander Isak for a staggering fee of £130 million. The deal sets a new record in English football, making the Swedish star one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history.
This transfer also takes Liverpool’s total spending in the summer of 2025 to £400 million. Earlier, the Reds shook the market by splashing out £200 million to secure two high-profile names: Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
By investing heavily, Liverpool are showing clear intent to return to the very top both domestically and in Europe. The combination of Isak, Wirtz, and Ekitike promises to bring more variety, creativity, and firepower to the attack under the head coach.
Reds fans are eagerly anticipating the performances of these blockbuster signings, as the club sets its sights on the highest goals for the 2025/26 season.
An incredible transfer window has turned Liverpool into the No.1 contender for the Premier League crown this season. The Kop are also the only team with a perfect record after the first three rounds. However, Kylian Mbappe believes Liverpool will miss out on the Premier League title, despite the club’s ambitious moves in the transfer market.
The Real Madrid superstar told Bild: “Of course, Liverpool must be mentioned after what they showed last season and the signings they brought in during the summer of 2025. But I also expect Arsenal to be strong, because their key players have been together long enough, and that’s an important factor in football. Pep Guardiola’s Man City are also formidable, and they will surely be in the title race.”
When asked directly about his prediction for the Premier League champion, Mbappe added: “It’s difficult. Maybe Arsenal, maybe this will be their year.”
Liverpool are currently top of the Premier League, two points ahead of second-placed Chelsea. Arsenal, with six points from three games, sit in third place.
