Liverpool’s success in the last few years is owing in large part to jurgen klopp’s hard work.
The reds were reborn to their former glory in england and europe thanks to a style of play that delighted fans and attracted worldwide attention.
He didn’t do it alone.
He also needed the help of top players who made a difference on the field.
Some of them have passed away, like philippe coutinho, sadio mane, roberto firmino, and fabinho, but many more are still shining at anfield road.
The performances they deliver every weekend have earned them the respect of the coach and the fans, as well as a lot of money.
It is therefore not surprising that the highest paid players in the squad are the team’s main stars. The first in the ranking is obviously Mohamed Salah, who earns £18.2 million per season. And much further down, in second place, is Virgil Van Dijk, who per year earns £11.4 million. What no one could guess is who is third on the list.That place belongs to Thiago Alcantara. The Spanish midfielder has a salary almost as high as Virgil’s: £10.4 million per season. But his importance in the team is almost non-existent. In fact, he has barely played 5 minutes this season, when he came on near the end in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal on February 4. A hip injury had prevented him from playing for months, while now a muscular problem is the reason for his absence.
How much do the others earn?
Below Thiago Alcantara in the ranking of Liverpool’s highest salaries is Trent Alexander-Arnold, who earns £9.3 million per year. Then there are Alexis MacAllister and Alisson Becker (£7.8 million), Ryan Gravenberch, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez (£7.2 million). Interestingly, one of the team’s most important players, Luis Diaz, is much further back, in 18th place, with a salary of £2.8 million per year.
