Liverpool have landed a huge profit on player sales after sanctioning several exits at Anfield last summer. 

The Reds published their accounts for 2024-25 on Companies House on Wednesday (4 March), where they also provided an insight into this season’s numbers.

The documents revealed Liverpool banked a £104.7million profit on player sales in the latest summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, the Merseyside giants’ net amount payable on transfers is £229m, having strengthened their squad with multiple big-money signings this season. 

Liverpool have balanced their spending in recent years as they look to remain compliant with the various financial restrictions. 

Which players did Liverpool sell last summer?

The most high-profile exit last summer saw Luis Diaz join Bayern Munich in a deal worth £65m, handing Liverpool a significant profit. 

Darwin Nunez linked up with Al-Hilal for £46m before add-ons following his underwhelming spell at Anfield, while Bournemouth signed Ben Gannon-Doak for an initial £20m. 

The Reds cashed in on multiple academy products last summer, with those transfers bringing in a pure profit.

Jarell Quansah left for the largest fee after joining Bayer Leverkusen for £35m, while Caoimhin Kelleher headed to Brentford for an initial £12.5m.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tyler Morton and Nat Phillips’s moves to Real Madrid, Lyon and West Brom also brought in modest profits. 

In terms of incomings last summer, Alexander Isak’s £125m move from Newcastle United broke the Premier League transfer record.

Florian Wirtz was also signed for big money from Bayer Leverkusen, with the Reds paying £116m for his signature.

Elsewhere, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Freddie Woodman also made the move to Anfield. 

How much revenue do Liverpool generate?

Liverpool are in a strong financial position after claiming the Premier League title last season.

The Reds’ latest accounts revealed their turnover increased from £614m in 2023-24 to £703m in 2024-25.

That was backed by a surge in broadcast revenue after winning the Premier League title, with their figures improving from £204m to £264m. 

Elsewhere, commercial income increased from £308m to £323m as the Reds continue to cash in on sponsorship opportunities at Anfield.

Matchday income also received a boost following Liverpool’s return to the Champions League last season, with their numbers rising from £102m to £116m.

However, the Merseysiders now have the highest wage bill in the Premier League after their total rose from £386m to £428m due to the bonuses owed to players and staff after being crowned champions. 

That is £20m higher than Manchester City’s wage bill, which dropped slightly from £413m to £408m after failing to win a major trophy last season.
