It is believed that Daniel Sturridge, who is said to earn around £150,000 a week, along with captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain James Milner, who earn over £100,000 a week, are the club’s highest earning players.

The same study recognised Liverpool as the 60th highest paying club in the world, well behind the NBA’s reigning champions the Cleveland Cavaliers, who top the list as the highest paying team with an average weekly wage of £126,000.

Despite breaking into the top ten highest paying football teams, we remain to be only the fifth highest paying Premier League club. With Jurgen Klopp’s men currently positioned at the top of the Premier League though, it seems our investments are paying off more than our English rivals at the moment.
