With Diogo Jota recently signing a new long-term extension with Liverpool, here are the 12 highest-paid players at Liverpool.
Click through the gallery above to see who the 12 highest-paid players, and how much they earn gross a week, at Liverpool are following Jota's contract extension, according to various sources!
The Reds and Jota have decided to extend what has thus far been a very fruitful relationship.
Since his €44.7 million (R758 million) move from Wolverhampton Wanderers in September 2020, the 25-year-old has had a seamless transition into life under Jurgen Klopp, having found the back of the net 34 times and assisted on another nine occasions in 84 appearances for the Merseyside club to date.
The Portuguese forward will now reportedly be earning the same wages as somebody else who will be eager to get his Liverpool career started in similar fashion, and that is Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan became the club's second-most expensive signing ever earlier this transfer window, having arrived from Benfica.

The 23-year-old is said to be earning a gross salary of £179 423 (R3.6 million) a week at Anfield. Interestingly, it is said that Nunez snubbed Manchester United, where he would likely have earned more money, in favour of joining Klopp's men.
It just so happens that the highest-paid player at the club is also an attacker. Not only is Mohamed Salah the club's biggest earner, but he is also the best-paid player in the team's 130-year history.
Similar to Jota, the Egypt talisman signed an extension earlier in this transfer window following Sadio Mane's departure from the club, with the Senegalese's exit seemingly enabling Liverpool to offer Salah the lucrative new deal.
Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group handed the Pharaohs winger a new contract worth £350 000 (R6.9 million) a week.
