The 26 Highest-Paid Liverpool Players – Ranked from Lowest to Highest

July 23, 2025 Rasmus Kristensen

Liverpool have long been admired not only for their success on the pitch, but also for their disciplined approach off it — especially when it comes to wages. While some Premier League clubs freely hand out mega contracts, the Reds have focused on rewarding performance, loyalty, and long-term potential with a relatively structured pay scale.

As we head into the 2025/26 season under the new leadership of Arne Slot, the wage hierarchy at Anfield reveals a fascinating blend of experienced stars, smart new signings, and rising talents. From academy prospects earning under £10,000 per week to Mohamed Salah’s staggering £400,000, here’s a complete look at Liverpool’s 26 highest-paid players — ranked from lowest to highest.

26. Tyler Morton – £8,000/week

Tyler Morton continues to develop as a promising midfield option for Liverpool. Though his salary is the lowest among the top 26, he remains a valuable squad player with potential for future growth.

25. Rhys Williams – £10,000/week

Rhys Williams has featured sporadically in the senior setup but is still seen as a depth option in central defense. His modest wage reflects his role as a backup and development project.

24. Calvin Ramsay – £15,000/week

Scottish full-back Calvin Ramsay is working to establish himself in Liverpool's senior squad. At £15k a week, his contract reflects a long-term investment in his development.

23. Curtis Jones – £15,000/week

Homegrown talent Curtis Jones remains one of the club’s most affordable first-team contributors. His low wage belies the important minutes he contributes across all competitions.

22. Ben Doak – £15,000/week

Still a teenager, Ben Doak has impressed fans with his fearless play on the wing. His wage is modest, but his impact continues to grow with each appearance.

21. Harvey Elliott – £40,000/week

Despite being just 21, Elliott has already racked up a substantial number of games in red. His current contract reflects Liverpool’s belief in his long-term future.

20. Stefan Bajcetic – £40,000/week

The young Spaniard has been one of the standout academy graduates in recent years. Bajcetic is still on his initial senior contract but is expected to get a raise soon.

19. Wataru Endo – £50,000/week

Signed as a short-term midfield solution, Endo brings experience and stability at a low cost. At £50k per week, he offers reliable depth without breaking the bank.

18. Luis Díaz – £55,000/week

Díaz has become a fan favorite with his electric pace and flair, yet his salary is surprisingly low for a player of his caliber. A contract extension and wage bump seem inevitable.

17. Ibrahima Konaté – £70,000/week

Despite being a regular in defense and often partnering van Dijk, Konaté’s wage is one of the more conservative among the starting XI. Rumors of a move could see that change.

16. Kostas Tsimikas – £75,000/week

The Greek international is a dependable left-back option when Robertson is unavailable. His wage fits his squad role as a trusted backup.

15. Conor Bradley – £75,000/week

Bradley had a breakthrough season and was rewarded with a new deal. His current wage reflects his growing importance under Arne Slot.

14. Joe Gomez – £85,000/week

Gomez has been a loyal servant to the club, covering across the backline. At £85k per week, he remains a key rotational figure.

13. Giorgi Mamardashvili – £85,000/week

Expected to take over as Liverpool’s new backup goalkeeper, Mamardashvili’s £85k wage suggests high expectations and future potential.

12. Jeremie Frimpong – £100,000/week

Replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold won’t be easy, but Frimpong is off to a strong start. His £100k salary shows Liverpool’s belief in his quality.

11. Cody Gakpo – £120,000/week

The Dutch forward has become a versatile weapon in attack. His wage places him firmly in the second tier of earners, reflecting his consistent contributions.

10. Dominik Szoboszlai – £120,000/week

Szoboszlai arrived with high expectations and has delivered flashes of brilliance. At £120k per week, he remains one of the key creative forces in midfield.

9. Darwin Núñez – £140,000/week

The Uruguayan striker has divided opinions but continues to score crucial goals. His salary puts him just below the elite earners at the club.

8. Alisson Becker – £150,000/week

Arguably the best goalkeeper in the world, Alisson remains one of Liverpool's most important players. His wage is extremely modest for a player of his caliber.

7. Federico Chiesa – £150,000/week

The Italian winger joined Liverpool with high hopes, though his future may lie elsewhere. Still, his £150k salary reflects his profile and ability.

6. Alexis Mac Allister – £150,000/week

World Cup winner and one of Liverpool’s most elegant midfielders, Mac Allister is a bargain at this wage level given his importance.

5. Ryan Gravenberch – £150,000/week

After a slow start, Gravenberch has found his rhythm in midfield. His wage puts him among the highest-paid central players at the club.

4. Florian Wirtz – £195,000/week

The German wonderkid is Liverpool’s big-money midfield addition. At £195k a week, Wirtz enters Anfield as one of the top earners right away.

3. Hugo Ekitike – £250,000/week (expected)

Although the transfer has not yet been finalized, sources expect Ekitike to earn £250k per week. This would immediately make him the club’s third-highest-paid player.

2. Virgil van Dijk – £350,000/week

Liverpool’s captain and defensive pillar, Van Dijk signed a new deal that reflects his unmatched leadership and experience. His influence is priceless — and his wage nearly so.

1. Mohamed Salah – £400,000/week

The Egyptian King remains Liverpool’s top earner — and rightly so. With consistent goals, assists, and world-class performances, Salah is worth every penny.
