Liverpool‘s wage bill jumped over 17 per cent last year.
The Daily Mail says Liverpool now have the fifth highest wage bill in world football after their fees rose by 17.5 per cent last season it has been revealed.
The Reds paid out a hefty £310million, just £2m shy of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Above the La Liga side are Manchester City who spent £315m, Manchester United are in second place having paid out £332m and way out in front are Barcelona who spent an incredible £438m on wages last campaign.
The reason for the increase is likely due to the additions in the summer of 2018 which saw the Reds splash out £163million in transfer fees.
In came Alisson from Roma, Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, Fabinho from Monaco and Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke, all of whom receive high wages.
Virgil van Dijk signed from Southampton for £75 million in January of 2018.
