The FA have confirmed the total fees that Liverpool paid to agents from February 2, 2024, up to February 3, 2025. The Reds had a relatively quiet year when it comes to new signings but have undergone major changes on and off the pitch over the last 12 months.
Last year saw Liverpool appoint Arne Slot as the club’s new head coach following the departure of Jurgen Klopp. Slot is now on the verge of guiding the Reds to the Premier League title, thanks to a 13-point advantage over second-placed Arsenal with six matches left to play.
In terms of transfers, Liverpool only added Federico Chiesa to their first-team squad across the summer and January transfer windows, in a deal worth up to £12.5million. Giorgi Mamardashvili was also signed by the Reds from Valencia but will not link up with the Reds until this summer.

The FA have confirmed that Liverpool spent a total of £20,835,652 on agents fees across 12 months starting from February 2024 up to February this year. This is considerably lower than many other Premier League clubs, with Chelsea the highest spenders at £60,384,449 on agent fees followed by the £52,126,339 paid by Manchester City.
Arsenal, meanwhile, spent slightly more than Liverpool on agents fees. The Gunners’ figure covering the 12 months from February 2024 is listed as £22,791,197.
While the FA does not list the specific individual fees paid to agents by Liverpool, it does list all of the transactions completed by the Reds. Chiesa is the only ‘permanent transfer in’ listed by the FA, but it was not the only transaction completed over the last 12 months.
With Slot being appointed as the club’s new head coach, the FA’s report also states that Liverpool paid fees to the Dutchman’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, as well as the representative of assistant manager, Sipke Hulshoff.
Due to the timing of the deal being announced, the report does not include the agreement that saw Mohamed Salah extend his contract by a further two years, which was confirmed last week. This will be included in next year’s report, which will also cover the upcoming summer transfer window and the January window in 2026.
