The Highest-Paid Liverpool Players After Darwin Nunez Signing

The Highest-Paid Liverpool Players After Darwin Nunez Signing

11. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – €137 000

Liverpool have made Darwin Nunez one of their most expensive signings of all time, but how does his salary compare to the likes of Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold's weekly earnings? Here is an updated list of the Reds' best-paid players.

Click through the gallery above to see Liverpool's 11 highest-paid stars, according to several sources.

On Tuesday night, the Merseyside club officially unveiled the signing of 22-year-old Uruguay international Darwin Nunez, who has joined the club from Benfica for an initial fee of €75 million (R1.2 billion).

The deal could rise by €25 million (R419 million) in add-ons, although that will depend on whether certain individual and collective achievements are reached over the course of his six-year contract in England.

According to The Times journalist Paul Joyce, Liverpool will pay the ex-Almeria striker about €50 million (R835 million) in wages on his current deal, meaning Nunez is expected to earn around €160 000 (R2.6 million) every week.

This weekly salary will see the forward rank below the likes of goalkeeper Alisson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and Alexander-Arnold, although he immediately places higher than wantaway forward Sadio Mane.

Surprisingly, the 30-year-old is not even among the club's 11 biggest earners, with the Bayern Munich-linked winger said to be pushing for an exit in this transfer window so as to enter a higher pay bracket elsewhere.
