Liverpool FC wages: Reds waste £130k per week on crock, departed duo still collect £200k

Posted by

This season’s Liverpool FC wages have been estimated by the knowledgable geeks who made Football Manager 2016. These figures are pretty shocking.

The top 10, which we have listed below, includes some pretty average players, many of whom are far from being first-team regulars.

In fact, two of the top 10 – Mario Balotelli and Lazar Markovic – have departed Anfield and are currently out on loan, but they are still earning a mammoth £200,000 between them every seven days.

Unreliable crock Daniel Sturridge is no.2 on the list. He is apparently on £130,000, which is outrageous considering his fitness record.
