How much every Liverpool player is paid weekly [2025]
Liverpool appear to have won everything over the last decade. While a sixth Champions League high point and a first Premier League title in 30 years were impressive enough, the fact that the Jurgen Klopp era achieved such unprecedented heights while operating with a net spend far lower than their rivals adds significantly to the Reds' recent success stories.

Liverpool have frequently been praised for its economic plan, which has kept the club on stable financial footing. Whereas other top European club owners are concerned about past devil-may-care transfer strategies, the Reds are far from the Financial Fair Play restrictions that are creeping up with Chelsea and Manchester City.
Despite this, their commitment to long-term players means their salary bill can be rather tight at times, with 12 players making at least £100,000 per week. Using Capology to acquire the remainder of the data, every Liverpool player's earnings were examined - and the results remain a welcome sight for anyone fed up with football's nasty, money-spinning side.
Goalkeepers
Alisson is one of the top goalkeepers in international football. Despite this global reputation, his weekly salary of £150,000 places him outside the top ten highest-paid goalkeepers. Instead, Manuel Neuer tops the list, earning a hefty £353,000 every week.
The Brazilian has saved his team on several times, so a larger bonus at the conclusion of each week would be entirely justified. However, what better location to demonstrate Liverpool's frugal methods than with the little sums they spend on their goalkeepers.
Caoimhin Kelleher is probably the league's greatest backup goalkeeper, with his octopus-like saves ensuring his team's safety should rival strikers manage to get past Virgil van Dijk. Surprisingly, the Irish international makes only £10,000 per week, making him the Reds' second-lowest earning behind only fellow goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, who made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace in a 1-0 away win after replacing the injured Alisson.
1. Alisson - £150,000-per-week (August 4, 2021 to June 30, 2027)
2. Caoimhin Kelleher - £10,000-per-week (June 24, 2021 to June 30, 2026)
3. Vitezslav Jaros - £7,000-per-week (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025)
Defenders
Liverpool's record of signing players who are undoubtedly among the best in their positions continues with Virgil Van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, unlike their goalkeeping partner, both of these players, who have played a significant role in the Reds' recent trophy hauls, are paid a far higher weekly income.
Van Dijk earns the second most of any of his teammates, at £220,000 per week, while his right-back partner earns a respectable £180,000 per week - though this could soon rise to £300,000, with reports claiming the Reds have offered the Real Madrid target a five-year contract renewal worth £78 million. Andrew Robertson, the Scotland captain, completes a trio of six-figure-earning defenders, with a weekly salary of £100,000.
Ibrahima Konate, Van Dijk's most trusted centre-back partner, earns £70,000 a week, which is £40,000 more than youngster Jarell Quansah, who has seen his game time increase in recent weeks due to injuries to both Konate and Gomez.
1. Virgil Van Dijk - £220,000-per-week (August 13, 2021 to June 30, 2025)
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold - £180,000-per-week (July 30, 2021 to June 30, 2025)
3. Andrew Robertson - £100,000-per-week (August 24, 2021 to June 30, 2026)
4. Joe Gomez - £85,000-per-week (July 7, 2022 to June 30, 2027)
5. Kostas Tsimikas - £75,000-per-week (September 25, 2023 to June 30, 2027)
6. Ibrahima Konate - £70,000-per-week (July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026)
7. Jarell Quansah - £30,000-per-week (October 7, 2024 to June 30, 2028)
Midfielders
Liverpool's biggest weakness was in the midfield 18 months ago, when major earners James Milner, Fabinho, and club captain Jordan Henderson all left. However, Klopp brought in Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and World Cup winner Alexis MacAllister to compensate for the departures.
For the most part, it has been a success, with Mac Allister impressing in his first season with the club and Gravenberch currently thriving under Arne Slot. Szoboszlai makes £120,000 per week, bringing the six-digit earnings in midfield to a close, while the four other players earn £50,000 or less, indicating that the club has made sensible decisions elsewhere in the middle.
1. Alexis Mac Allister - £150,000-per-week (September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028)
2. Ryan Gravenberch - £150,000-per-week (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028)
3. Dominik Szoboszlai - £120,000-per-week (July 2, 2023 to June 30, 2028)
4. Wataru Endo - £50,000-per-week (August 18, 2023 to June 30, 2027)
5. Harvey Elliott - £40,000-per-week (August 11, 2022 to June 30, 2027)
6. Stefan Bajcetic - £40,000-per-week (January 26, 2023 to June 30, 2027)
7. Curtis Jones - £15,000-per-week (November 17, 2022 to June 30, 2027)
Forwards
It's probably no surprise that Mo Salah is his club's main breadwinner, earning an eye-watering £350,000 per week - which almost certainly helped him stay on Merseyside despite growing interest from Saudi Arabia, as he sits comfortably as the division's third-highest-paid player. But, given that the 'Egyptian King' is the Reds' major goal scorer, who can blame the club for wanting to keep him?
Perhaps one surprise is the enormous disparity between him and the rest of his assaulting group. Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez make £140,000 per week, while Liverpool's most recent acquisition in attack, Federico Chiesa, got a four-year contract worth £150,000 per week, despite swiftly becoming one of the worst purchases of the window.
Quite astonishingly, Luis Diaz only earns £55,000 each week. With a succession of outstanding performances in 24/25, the Colombian has demonstrated that he merits a significant salary increase.
1. Mohamed Salah - £350,000-per-week (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025)
2. Federico Chiesa - £150,000-per-week (August 29, 2024 to June 30, 2028)
3. Darwin Nunez - £140,000-per-week (August 2, 2023 to June 30, 2027)
4. Diogo Jota - £140,000-per-week (July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2028)
5. Cody Gakpo - £120,000-per-week (January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028)
6. Luis Diaz - £55,000-per-week (January 30, 2022 to June 30, 2027)
7. Ben Doak - £15,000-per-week (September 19, 2023 to June 30, 2025)
