Over the past decade, Liverpool has enjoyed tremendous success, clinching several major titles. Notably, the club secured its sixth Champions League trophy and ended a 30-year wait for a Premier League title. What makes these achievements more remarkable is Liverpool’s relatively low net spend compared to its competitors.
Guided by FSG’s prudent management, Liverpool has built a reputation for sound financial governance. While some top European clubs struggle with the consequences of excessive spending, Liverpool remains in good standing with Financial Fair Play rules, avoiding the financial turmoil seen at clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City.
That said, Liverpool’s loyalty to long-serving players has led to a significant wage bill—12 players now earn more than £100,000 per week. Using data from Capology, this analysis breaks down the salaries of all current Liverpool players, providing a clearer view of the club’s wage structure.

Alisson, regarded as one of the best goalkeepers globally, earns £150,000 per week—well below the top bracket for goalkeepers. For comparison, Manuel Neuer leads the chart at £353,000 weekly. Despite Alisson’s impact, Liverpool’s overall goalkeeper spending remains conservative.
With Caoimhin Kelleher’s departure, Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to become the backup. Vitezslav Jaros and Harvey Davies are also part of the senior squad.
Defenders
Van Dijk is now Liverpool’s second highest-paid player.
This summer, Trent Alexander-Arnold moved to Real Madrid, freeing up his £180,000 weekly salary. Jeremie Frimpong joined the squad, reportedly on £100,000 per week. Virgil van Dijk, following a new deal, earns £350,000 per week, while Andrew Robertson makes £160,000.
Ibrahima Konate earns £70,000 weekly—£40,000 more than young defender Jarell Quansah, who has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen.
Midfielders
Florian Wirtz leads the midfield in earnings.
Two years ago, Liverpool’s midfield needed a rebuild after losing Milner, Fabinho, and Henderson. Jurgen Klopp responded by bringing in Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexis Mac Allister. The trio of Mac Allister, Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai each earn over £100,000 weekly, while new signing Wirtz reportedly tops the group with a £200,000 weekly wage.
Forwards
Mo Salah remains Liverpool’s highest-paid player.
Mo Salah tops the wage list at Liverpool, making £400,000 per week. His consistent goal-scoring and assist records have helped keep him at Anfield despite heavy interest from Saudi clubs. He remains the only Premier League player to record 10+ goals and 10+ assists across three straight seasons.
By comparison, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez both earn £140,000 per week, while Federico Chiesa is on £150,000 despite inconsistent form. Surprisingly, Luis Diaz is among the lowest earners at just £55,000 per week—though his recent performances could merit a raise
