This summer, four players who departed Liverpool have entered the club’s top 10 most expensive sales list.
Recent months at Anfield have been dynamic, with significant signings brought in and notable exits.
In the summer of 2025, the Reds generated over £228 million from transfers, with Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah, and Harvey Elliott commanding significant fees.
All four players now rank among the top ten most lucrative transfers in Liverpool’s history. Here’s a breakdown of the highest fees received:
10. Harvey Elliott – £35 million
When: 2026 (loan for 2025/26 season)
To: Aston Villa
At just 22, Elliott left for Aston Villa on loan with a future obligation to buy. His six years at Liverpool were filled with memorable moments, including being part of the squad that won the 2020 Premier League title.
9. Jarell Quansah – £35 million
When: 2025
To: Bayer Leverkusen
Quansah’s transfer to Bayer Leverkusen for £35 million included a buy-back option, making it a sound deal for Liverpool as he develops in Germany.
8. Sadio Mane – £35.1 million
When: 2022
To: Bayern Munich
Though a fan favorite at Liverpool, Mane’s £35.1 million transfer reflected a declining phase in his career, and subsequent struggles at Bayern Munich led to his move to Al-Nassr.
7. Fabinho – £40 million
When: 2023
To: Al-Ittihad
Fabinho, once a key player, saw his form decline before transferring to Al-Ittihad. His contributions were crucial to Liverpool’s success in previous seasons.
6. Darwin Nunez – £46.3 million
When: 2025
To: Al-Hilal
Nunez left Liverpool for Al-Hilal, bringing in £46.3 million despite a challenging stint where he struggled to meet performance expectations.
1. Philippe Coutinho – £142 million
When: 2018
To: Barcelona
Coutinho’s transfer to Barcelona for £142 million remains Liverpool’s most profitable sale, funding key acquisitions that helped the club thrive.
