Liverpool players’ wages bill has shifted more in the past 12 months than at any point since FSG took over ownership in 2010. The club paid over £169,780,000 in annual salaries, excluding bonuses, to its senior male players.
With the Departure of Mohammed Salah in the summer of 2026, who was Liverpool’s highest earner with a weekly wage of £400,000 and over £20 million annually, making him the second-highest Premier League earner after Erling Haaland of Manchester City.
Ahead of the 2026/2027 season, Liverpool currently has big names on their payroll, including Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Dominik Szoboszlai, who recently signed a new contract with the club.
Now the big question: how much do Liverpool players earn in 2026, both per week and annually? Let’s break down the entire structure for male players earning in the 2026/2027 season, including their contract lengths and annual bonuses.
Liverpool Total Wage Bill in 2026
According to Capology, Liverpool FC will spend over £169,780,000 on annual wages for senior male players, including bonuses; the club is expected to spend over £206,245,000.
These numbers exclude possible signings that join the club before the close of the 2026 summer transfer window. This level of spending places Liverpool among the top three Premier League spenders on players’ salaries, only falling behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
Liverpool Goalkeeper Wages 2026
Alisson Becker: He remains Liverpool’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper and the highest-paid goalie at the club. The Brazilian earns £150,000 per week, bringing his annual wage to £7.8 million. Then add up his bonuses; this brings his total wage to about £9,750,000.
This wage took effect after his contract with Liverpool on 4 August 2021 and will run until 30 June 2027, when there is a possibility of a contract renewal with the club that could likely increase his wage.
Despite a substantial salary, Alisson does not crack the world’s top five highest-paid goalkeepers, with Manuel Neul of Bayern Munich, Jan Oblak of Atlético Madrid, Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid, and Gianluigi Donnarumma of Manchester City all sitting ahead of him.
Giorgi Mamardashvili: The Georgian man is Alisson Becker’s replacement at Liverpool and the club’s second-highest-paid goalkeeper. He takes home £85,000 a week and an annual wage of £4.42 million. Including his bonuses, his total pay is £5,225,000.
Mamardashvili still has about 5 years left on his contract with Liverpool, which runs until the summer of 2031, a clear sign of how highly the club rates him.
Freddie Woodman: Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper currently earns about £30,000 per week, equivalent to £1.56 million per year, aside from bonuses. His total breakdown per annum, plus bonus, brings his wages to £1,950,000.
This amount kicked in after his contract with the Reds on 23 July 2026, a 3-year contract that will run until 30 June 2029.
Vitezslav Jaros: Liverpool’s loan graduate will earn £7,000 per week ahead of the 2026/2027 season, bringing his annual wage to £364,000. His bonuses at Liverpool amount to £91,000, bringing his total take-home to £455,000. Jaros just has two years left in his contract with Liverpool, which expires on 30 June 2026.
Harvey Davies: The academy goalkeeper is currently the lowest earner in the entire senior squad, as he earns £3,000 per week and an annual wage of £156,000. Including his annual bonuses for the club, his take-home pay becomes £195,000. Davies’ current contract with Liverpool ends on 30 June 2027.

Liverpool Defenders Wages
Virgil van Dijk: The Liverpool captain is currently the highest earner at the club, earning approximately £350,000 per week and over £18 million per year. He started earning this amount after his contract extension on 17 April 2025, and his deal runs until June 2027.
A possible contract extension after the expiration might lead to a higher paycheck for the Dutchman, but until then, all fingers remain crossed.
Joe Gomez: The Englishman is Liverpool’s longest-serving player after joining the side in 2015. He currently earns £85,000 per week, which is over £4 million per annum. Gomez just has one year left on his contract with the Red, which ends in June 2027.
Giovanni Leoni: Liverpool’s highly rated center-back who joined the club in the summer of 2025, earns £55,000 per week and over £2 million annually. Despite his initial injury, he still has a long contract with the club, as his deal runs until June 2031, giving him an additional 5 years.
Ronald Araujo: The Uruguayan international who joined Liverpool on a 1-year loan spell from Barcelona is expected to earn £205,000 per week and roughly over £10 million annually. Liverpool has a £47 million buy option; if the Reds exercise it, we could likely see the former Barcelona captain earn more at the club.
Jeremy Jacquet: The Liverpool new arrival has been placed on a £ 120,000-per-week wage, amounting to over £6 million annually, as revealed by SalaryLeaks. The young French defender joined the Reds as part of the future development of the center-back position. He signed a 5-year contract with the club that will see him play until June 2031.
Jeremie Frimpong: The Dutch right-back who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen earns £100,000 weekly and over £5 million annually. His contract with Liverpool will run until June 2030, which gives him an additional 4 years to step up his play style.
Milos Kerkez: The young left-back defender earns £75,000 as his weekly wage and over £3.9 million yearly. The club is currently building a long-term plan around Kerkez, as he still has 4 years left on his contract, which expires in June 2030.
Konstantinos Tsimikas: The Greek Scoucer who returned from a loan spell from AS Roma ahead of the 2026/2027 season will earn £75,000 per week and over £3.9 million annually. Tsimikas currently has just a year left on his contract with the Reds, and with the departure of Andy Robertson and considering his age, there is a huge possibility of a contract extension.
Conor Bradley: The academy-groomed right-back will also earn £75,000 weekly and over £3.9 million yearly. Regardless of the 3 years on his contract, Bradley is an important Liverpool player and part of the club’s future build-up.
Calvin Ramsay: The Liverpool young right-back is among the lowest earners at the club as he currently earns £15,000 per week and roughly £780,000 a year. He currently has just a year left on his contract with the club, which expires on 30 June 2027.

Liverpool Midfielders Wages
Ryan Gravenberch: The Dutch midfielder is the highest-paid in the midfield position at Liverpool; he earns £280,000 and over £14.5 million after his new contract with the club in May 2026. Gravenberch is currently one of Liverpool’s highly rated midfielders, as he has over six years left on his contract with the club.
Dominik Szoboszlai: The Liverpool 2025/2026 player of the season was recently awarded a new contract after his incredible performances during the season campaign, which saw his weekly wage doubled from £120,000 to £250,000, bringing his annual salary to £13 million pounds.
Szoboszlai is one of Liverpool’s most important players. The club is currently building a squad around him, which is one of the reasons he has a five-year contract that will see him play with the Reds until June 2030.
Florian Wirtz: Liverpool’s record-signing midfielder Wirtz currently earns £200,000 per week and over £10.4 million a year. The German player has four years left on his contract with the club, but with creativity, there is a huge chance of a contract renewal before June 2030.
Alexis Mac Allister: The World Cup-winning midfielder currently earns £150,000 weekly and £7.8 million in total annual salary. The 27-year-old Argentine has just two years left on his contract with the Reds; a contract renewal could be negotiated before the end of the 2026/2027 season.
Harvey Elliott: The loan returnee on a £65,000 per week wage and over £3.3 million a year at Liverpool. However, Elliott has just a year left on his contract, which expires in June 2027, but the interesting part is that the new head coach, Andoni Iraola, has recognized him as one of the players he plans to work with at the club. This announcement could lead to a possible contract extension.
Curtis Jones: The Liverpool academy-groomed midfielder earns £50,000 weekly and £2,600,000 annually. With just one year left on his contract, there have been speculations of a possible transfer move before the close of the 2026 summer transfer window.
Wataru Endo: The Japanese international earns £50,000 per week, bringing his annual take-home to £2,600,000. Endo is one of Liverpool’s reliable substitute players, but with just a year left on his contract, we could see him leave at the end of the 2026/2027 season.
Stefan Bajcetic: The highly rated young midfielder earns £40,000 a week and over £2 million yearly. With Liverpool’s quest to build a young squad, there is a strong likelihood of a contract renewal as his previous contract expires in June 2027.
Trey Nyoni: The teenage midfielder is on a £ 25,000-a-week wage at the club, which brings the total of his annual earnings to £1.3 million. Regardless of the four years left on his contract, Nyoni is the future of Liverpool’s midfield.

Federico Chiesa: The 28-year-old Italian forward who has been struggling for game time at the club earns £150,000 per week and an annual salary of £7.8 million. He has just two years left on his contract, so he could possibly leave the club after his contract runs out.
Victor Muñoz: Liverpool’s new signing and World Cup winner will earn £75,000 weekly, which will bring his cumulative salary for the year to £3.9 million. He signed a six-year contract with the club, which runs out in the summer of 2032.
