[Must Board] Last season, a senior executive of a Champions League strong team told Liverpool executives that their transfer fee for signing Wilz for 150 million is £100 million, which is paid in five years. If Wiltz wins four major trophies in Anfield’s career, including the Premier League and the Champions League, Liverpool will also pay Leverkusen £16 million.

If successful, this will bring huge bonuses that will be enough to cover the additional costs.

Isaac's transfer fee is £125 million (plus additional terms, the transfer fee may rise to £130 million) and will be paid in four seasons, meaning that the first transfer fee for Isaac and Wilz this summer is £51.25 million.

This will affect the team's available funds during the new player contract period, but if they can complete the transfers well, they can be an example of turning stones into gold.

Nevertheless, Liverpool is willing to be seen as willing to invest in certain important transfers, rather than being accused of trying to deceive the market by over-caution, as Jurgen Klopp did during his coaching period.

Liverpool were often accused of being overly cautious during Klopp's coaching, which occasionally led to a slight tension between the former manager and those teams that approved huge transfers.

Klopp didn't mind stressing that the club was at a disadvantage in the competition with Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United, but during his coaching period, the team invested about £1 billion, with the most notable of which was the record transfer fee for Van Dijk and Alisson in 2018.

"In view of inflation, both Van Dijk and Alisson are worth £100 million in the current transfer market. This summer is really nothing new to us," a Liverpool source emphasized.

Liverpool also never stings with generous contracts with star players, and those who focus on the level of team spending usually still ignore their payroll.

The difference is that the timing and intensity of Liverpool signing so many important players. The club admitted that introducing a talented Bundesliga player is more eye-catching than signing Southampton's central defender or even Roma's goalkeeper.

Even if the actual situation is not that dramatic, it will make people feel that Liverpool is adjusting its overall strategy.

Such a proactive decision this summer is the result of a combination of situations, careful planning and the legacy of the Klopp era, which has made the club's financial situation very healthy.

FSG Football CEO Michael Edwards, Sports Director Richard Hughes and head coach Slott are three wise men in Liverpool football operations who started to formulate their master plan for 2025 a year ago.

When they started setting goals shortly after taking office, everyone agreed that it was crazy to completely break up the roster left by Klopp, first because they believed Slott could lead the team to the next level; secondly because they wanted to get full-year data on future goals and make a more comprehensive judgment on their existing roster.

"We see this as saving pocket money, preparing for players we think can be purchased this summer," said a senior club official.
