Liverpool's wage structure has come under scrutiny as the club struggles to meet expectations this season. According to Spotrac, Mohamed Salah is the highest earner at £400,000 per week, followed by Virgil van Dijk on £350,000. Alexander Isak, signed for a British record £125 million, earns £280,000 weekly, placing him third.
In contrast, fellow forward Hugo Ekitike, who joined for £69 million, earns £200,000 per week—40 per cent less than Isak. Ekitike's wages are tied with Cody Gakpo and Florian Wirtz, who also earn £200,000 weekly, making them joint-fourth in the club's wage bill.
Isak has struggled to justify his fee, managing only three goals in 16 appearances before suffering a serious injury. Ekitike, meanwhile, has been an instant success, scoring on his Premier League debut after beating Newcastle to his signature.
Other notable salaries include Andy Robertson on £160,000 per week (seventh), Alisson Becker and Federico Chiesa on £150,000 (joint-10th), and Ibrahima Konate on £70,000 (18th). Curtis Jones is near the bottom with £15,000 per week.
