With his new deal, Isak becomes the third-highest paid player in Arne Slot’s squad:
- Mohamed Salah – £400,000 per week
- Virgil van Dijk – £350,000 per week
- Alexander Isak – £250,000 per week

This puts the Swedish international ahead of Alisson, who had previously been among the club’s best-paid stars.
Isak’s Profile and Expectations

Liverpool’s Transfer Spending
The Reds have been one of the most aggressive clubs in the summer market, spending £449 million on reinforcements. After generating £262 million from player sales, their net outlay sits at around £180 million.
