Transfer Loophole Means Liverpool Can Sign Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi After Window Closes - Liverpool Echo

Liverpool pursued and completed British-record transfers for Alexander Isak from Newcastle and Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace around the September 1, 2025 deadline.
These moves followed prolonged negotiations and medicals, with the window officially closing at 7 p.m., but deals could proceed if a deal sheet was lodged in time.
Liverpool spent an estimated £416 million this summer, breaking previous Premier League club records with signings like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Isak, while Guehi's deal was worth £35 million plus add-ons.
"Transfer fee is around £125 million" for Isak and Guehi's deal includes a "10 per cent sell-on clause," with official medicals completed on September 1, 2025, enabling the moves to finalize.
These late transfers suggest Liverpool's strategy to aggressively overhaul the squad while allowing business to continue beyond the window's closure under transfer regulations.
