The net spend at the end of the summer window, when taking into account the guaranteed sums paid for players, saw Liverpool have the fifth lowest in the Premier League. The purchases of Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho were offset in no small part by the sales of the likes of Neco Williams, Sadio Mane, Marko Grujic and Takumi Minamino as Liverpool posted an £8.64m net spend for the window.
