We are here with the top 5 list of Liverpool players with the highest salary per week in 2025. During the Jurgen Klopp era and even after Liverpool won the Premier League in Arne Slot's first season in-charge, the general belief was that Liverpool were a club that would only spend the big bucks when absolutely necessary even if they had enough budget. This was in contrast to how Manchester City would hundreds of millions of players and end up winning titles in the end. Such an approach also led to widespread anger amongst many Liverpool supporters who felt this strategy was holding back their club. Thus, it was the biggest surprise for every football fan and pundit out there when Liverpool splashed out more than £400 million in the 2025 Summer Transfer window. They have ended up showing everyone in world football that they are more than ready to spend aggressively on transfer fees or wages when the situation requires them to do so. Let us now look at the top 5 highest paid Liverpool players per week in 2025.
Liverpool Weekly Wages 2025-26: Top 5 Highest Paid Players
Hugo Ekitiké (Salary per week - £200,000)
Hugo Ekiteke has been the best signing so far from Liverpool's legendary £400 million plus summer spending spree. He has outshone several other high-profile names like Florian Wirtz and adapted easily to the Premier League. In fact, some Liverpool fans might see his salary per week of £200,000 to be a bit less than what he deserves, especially considering how much more some other names in this list are making.
Cody Gakpo (Salary per week - £250,000)
Liverpool's depth in attack is simply ridiculous, as it boasts the likes of Ekiteke, Isak, Salah, and Wirz. Another player who's a part of the attacking group is Cody Gakpo, who is the least high-profile name from all of them and often gets dropped by Arne Slot to accommodate the other names who joined the club for a much bigger transfer fee. However, Gakpo might be having the final laugh at least from a financial perspective, as he earns a salary of £250,000 per week.
Alexander Isak (Salary per week - £280,000)
When Alexander Isak was signed by Liverpool for a British record £125 million from Newcastle, the belief was that he'd immediately start scoring goals like anything and turn Liverpool into an unstoppable force. However, the move has been nothing less than disaster so far due to constant injury issues and poor performances whenever he's played. His £280,000 per week salary is hard to justify at the moment, and the Swedish striker needs to improve seriously.
Virgil van Dijk (Salary per week - £350,000)
Van Dijk earns a salary per week of £350,000 at the age of 34, and that just shows you how long he had been at the very top. Although he's past his prime, Van Dijk is still one of the best defenders in the world, and he's also a fantastic leader as well. Liverpool will soon have to find a long-term replacement to their ageing leader, but right now they can still enjoy him in their team.
Mohamed Salah (Salary per week - £400,000)
Liverpool have always known to be quite strict when it came to finances, and yet they made an exception to their usual rules by making 34 year old Mohamed Salah the highest paid player in the club. He earns a weekly salary of £400,000, which is not justifiable when you consider his current form, but more than deserved if you look at his contributions in the past few years.
