The 2023–24 Premier League season is drawing to a close, and Liverpool is certain to place third. The Reds now know how much prize money they will receive for their season finale against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, which will be managed by Jürgen Klopp in his farewell game at Anfield.
Liverpool wants to contend for a second league title under Klopp, but other than the Carabao Cup, which they won in March, they will end the season without winning any further trophies. The Reds lost their usual intensity against Arsenal and Manchester City due to injuries and overall exhaustion; as a result, third and second place are now separated by seven points.
No matter how the season ends, everyone at the club will be feeling extremely strongly about Sunday’s match. In the days ahead, the German manager will receive a hero’s sendoff worthy of his legendary reputation at Anfield.
With Champions League qualification certain and a competitive roster already established at the club, future manager Arne Slot will take over a side that is well-positioned for success ahead of the 2024–2025 campaign. He will also have more money available to him in the summer if he finishes third in the English football premier league, but by how much?
According to the ECHO, Manchester United received $70 million (£56 million/€65 million) in prize money from the Premier League for finishing third in the previous campaign. In the Premier League, every spot is worth $3.9 million (£3.1 million/€3.6 million) more than the one below it.
In addition, teams receive revenue from the league’s international and domestic broadcast deals in addition to facility fees, which are determined by the frequency with which each team is televised. Liverpool, who has been televised 25 times this season, was tied for first place for this. The same amount of games were shown on television for Manchester United, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Champions League qualification is another benefit of finishing in third place; the team will collect $20.2 million (£16 million/€18.6 million) only for making it to the group stages. A further $2.2 million (£1.8 million/€2 million) will be added to each victory slot that is secured during the group stages.
