According to a new report from Football Insider, Liverpool Football Club has significantly reduced its annual wage bill by almost £20 million after a series of first-team player departures. The movement has been largely due to the expiry or transfer of a number of key players including Thiago, Matip, Adrian and Carvalho.
Thiago, who was originally the third highest paid player in the Liverpool squad, earns a whopping £200,000 a week, behind Salah and Van Dyke. His departure has undoubtedly saved the club a huge amount of money. Meanwhile, Matip's weekly salary has also reached £100,000, and although he has yet to find a new owner, his departure has already had a positive impact on Liverpool's finances.
In addition, Adrian has returned to Real Betis on £60,000 a week after tax, while youngster Carvalho has joined Brentford on £40,000 a week
.. The transfer or departure of these players further reduces Liverpool's wage bill.
According to sources, Liverpool's annual wage bill has been reduced by £20.8 million as a result, which is undoubtedly a significant financial relief for the club. However, it is worth noting that despite the reduction in the wage bill, Liverpool have been relatively quiet in the transfer market this summer and have yet to carry out any reinforcement operations.
This strategy may be linked to the financial planning and long-term goals of the club's hierarchy. After the ups and downs and challenges of last season, Liverpool may be looking for a more robust and sustainable way of development. By streamlining their wage bill and choosing their reinforcements carefully, Liverpool hope to remain competitive in future matches and continue to push for higher honors.
