Under FSG’s careful but successful ownership, Liverpool have built a reputation for smart business management and financial stability. While rivals like Chelsea and Manchester City face issues with Financial Fair Play, the Reds have largely avoided such pitfalls.
That said, loyalty to long-serving players has inflated the wage bill, with more than a dozen stars earning over £100,000 per week. Using Capology data, here’s a breakdown of Liverpool’s current salaries.
Goalkeepers
Alisson, widely regarded as one of the best in the world, earns £150,000 a week—well below the likes of Manuel Neuer (£339,000). Despite his importance, Liverpool spend relatively little on goalkeepers.
Following Caoimhin Kelleher’s exit, Giorgi Mamardashvili now serves as backup, with Freddie Woodman and Armin Pecsi completing the first-team options.
Defenders
The major change this summer was Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid, taking his £180,000 weekly wage off the books. His replacement, Jeremie Frimpong, reportedly earns £100,000 per week.
- Virgil van Dijk: £350,000 (contract until 2027)
- Andrew Robertson: £160,000 (2026)
- Jeremie Frimpong: £100,000 (2030)
- Joe Gomez: £85,000 (2027)
- Conor Bradley: £75,000 (2029)
- Ibrahima Konaté: £70,000 (2026)
- Milos Kerkez: £60,000 (2030)
- Giovanni Leoni: £30,000 (2031)
- Calvin Ramsay: £15,000 (2027)
Midfielders
Florian Wirtz leads the midfielders on £195,000 per week after his move from Bayer Leverkusen. Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai also earn over £100,000 weekly.
Curtis Jones, despite becoming a key figure under Arne Slot, takes home just £15,000 a week—less than backup players Stefan Bajcetic (£40,000) and Wataru Endo (£50,000).
Forwards
No surprise here: Mohamed Salah is Liverpool’s top earner at £400,000 per week, a salary that helped fend off Saudi interest.
- Alexander Isak: signed on deadline day, earning £300,000 weekly (Guardian) or £250,000 (Sky Sports Germany).
- Hugo Ekitike: £200,000 per week after his £79m move from Frankfurt.
- Federico Chiesa & Cody Gakpo: £150,000 each.
- Rio Ngumoha: currently on a scholar’s wage of £1,200 a week, awaiting his first professional deal.
