LIVERPOOL lost a record £57MILLION last season - despite an all-time revenue high. The £9.6m cost of paying off Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff at the end of a campaign without Champions League football meant the Anfield side posted the loss even though the club grossed £614m in income.

Being out of the European elite represented the bulk of the £38m drop in broadcast income. Wages rose by £14m to £386m, with the arrivals of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch. But the losses - up by more than £40m from 2022-23 - were mitigated by the opening of the new Anfield Road Stand adding £22m to matchday revenues.

There as also a substantial uptick in commercial income, up by £36 million to £308 million after four new global partner sponsorship deals were struck. Liverpool are on course to make £100m-plus from their Champions League campaign if they get past PSG in this month’s last 16 tie.
