According to Football Insider, Liverpool has already paid off £31 million of their summer salary obligations.
After a lacklustre 2022–23 Premier League season, the Reds underwent a clearout at Anfield over the summer.
While Arthur Melo returned to Juventus after his unsuccessful loan stint, Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all left the team once their contracts expired.
Young players like Rhys Williams, Calvin Ramsay, and Fabio Carvalho have also left on loans.
Overall, Football Insider data shows that Liverpool’s exodus has reduced the team’s pay bill by £31 million annually.
Firmino’s weekly salary of £180,000 cost the club £9.4 million per year, while Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain both received a salary of £6.2 million, or £120,000 per week.

Football Insider revealed on Saturday (23 July) that Henderson’s move to Al Ettifaq has been completed with the deal worth £120million in total.
Fabinho is also closing in on a move to Saudi Arabia, and their departures will take a further £17million off the club’s wage bill.
Liverpool’s pay cost reached an all-time high of £366 million per year, according to their financial statements for 2021–2022.
This summer’s purge will have contributed to the decrease in that number, and Liverpool’s failure to earn a spot in the Champions League may also have had an effect. As a result, some players may expect to see a decrease in their salaries.
