Liverpool's wage bill increased by £14million in 2023-24 despite several high-profile figures leaving the club, sources have told Football Insider.
As per Deloitte's 2025 Money League, the Premier League side's wages rose from £373million in 2022-23 to £387million last season.
Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Fabinho, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino completed permanent exits in the summer of 2023, while several players also left the club on loan.
The Merseyside giants made four new signings in the same window, with Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo joining for more than £140million.
Liverpool's overall revenue increased from £594million to a club-record high of £614million in 2023-24.
They are now ranked eighth in the world for income after Arsenal, whose revenue grew by £150million to £615million, leapfrogged them into seventh spot.
Liverpool set for bumper year after early Arne Slot success
Liverpool's revenue was boosted by their strong commercial performance across the 2023-24 campaign.
The Merseysiders' commercial revenue surged from £273million in 2022-23 to £310million last season as they continue to find new income streams.
They did, however, suffer a hit from a broadcasting perspective after their revenue dropped from £242million to £201million due to their lack of Champions League football.
But Liverpool did experience a reasonable increase in their matchday income during Jurgen Klopp's final season at Anfield, with a £23million rise from £80million to £103million.
The German, who is now Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull, secured a third-place finish in the Premier League last season.
Arne Slot has enjoyed incredible early success since being appointed as Klopp's successor last summer, with his side currently sitting top of both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
