Liverpool ‘saved’ £80m on Dominik Soboszlai and Alexis MacAllister transfers – Liverpool FC

The signings of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister last summer saw Liverpool sign midfielders for £80m less than estimated, a new study claims.

Szoboszlai and Mac Allister arrived at Anfield last summer for a combined £95m – and have quickly established themselves as key players in midfield.

Only Virgil van Dijk and Luis Diaz played more minutes than Mack Allister, as the pair finished the campaign as sixth top scorers with seven each.

Their prominence during Jurgen Klopp’s final season underlined the excellent work Liverpool did when they activated the release clauses in their contracts.

Szoboszlai arrived from RB Leipzig for £60m, while Mac Allister was one of the best deals for any club, arriving from Brighton for just £35m.

According to a new study by the CIES Observatory, which lists the 100 most valuable players worldwide based on transfer value, Liverpool managed to get the pair at a saving of 80.6 million pounds.

The study claims that Szoboszla is the fourth most valuable midfielder in the world at £92m – a full £32m more than Leipzig got.

In the meantime, Mac AllisterThe transfer fee is predicted to be £83.6m, a whopping £48.6m more than Liverpool paid for him.

Four other Liverpool players made the top 100, namely Darwin Nunez (£91.9 million), Cody Gakpo (£84.3 million), Harvey Elliott (£67.4 million) i Luis Diaz (£66.6 million).

Nunez is considered the seventh most valuable striker in the world behind Erling Haaland, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Julian Alvarez, Rasmus Hojlund and Kai Havertz.

The value of Caiced is declining

Interestingly, the player Liverpool tried to sign last summer, Moises Caicedo, was valued at £69.4m – £45.6m less than Chelsea ended up paying for him, and £41.6m less than the Reds’ bid of £111m.

Two rumored targets for the upcoming transfer window are also Mohammed Kudus (£76.3m) and Johan Bakayoko (£55.6m).

The most valuable player in the world is Jude Bellingham, who is valued by CIES at £238.8m – having signed for Real Madrid for up to £115m.
