Liverpool recently published their latest set of accounts for 2024-25.
Liverpool made a total of £53 million profit in player sales, per their latest set of accounts.
The Reds confirmed that club made a pre-tax profit of £15 million from their latest set of figures for 2024-25 released last week. Liverpool’s overall revenue increased to club-record £703 million.
Winning the Premier League title and a return to the Champions League - reaching the last 16 of the competition - were key reasons why the Reds’ finances improved. But player sales were also a factor.
Per financial expert Swiss Ramble, departures of assets more doubled from £22 million to £53 million. In the financial period, the Reds cashed in on exits of Sepp van den Berg and Fabio Carvalho (both Brentford) and Bobby Clark (RB Salzburg). The exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid before his contract expired also earned Liverpool and is likely to fall into the accounting period.
Analysis from Swiss Ramble suggests that Liverpool’s sales in 2024 and 2025 only puts them mid-table among Premier League clubs. In addition, over the past five years to 2023-24, they are also in the middle of the top-flight pack.
But it is suggested that ‘figures will be considerably better this season, as Liverpool have advised that they made £105 million profit from player sales’. Luis Diaz was sold to Bayern Munich for £65 million while academy products Jarell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen), Caoimhin Keller (Brentford) and Ben Doak (Bournemouth) departed.
Darwin Nunez was offloaded to Al-Hilal. Swiss Ramble suggests that Liverpool’s profit on the deal was ‘quite small’. That is because Nunez’s book value still remained fairly high, with the Reds paying an initial £64 million for the striker in 2022, while add-ons were owed to former club Benfica.
