"Liverpool's wage bill increased by 42m to 428m in the year ending 31 May 2025, when a Premier League title triumph in Arne Slot's debut season as head coach and a return to the Champions League increased revenue to a record 703m. The club's wages-to-revenue ratio stood at a healthy 61%."
"We make no secret of our desire to run and operate a financially sustainable club, to grow revenue streams, and to do all we can off the pitch to help bring more success on it, said Liverpool's chief financial officer, Jenny Beacham. The 2024-25 season is a great example of how this can work, with record revenues alongside the men's team winning our 20th league title."
"The club does face significant cost challenges, including rises in administrative, staffing and operational costs, alongside the need for us to compete at the highest level of the game, across our men and women's teams."
Liverpool recorded the highest wage bill in the Premier League at £428m during the 2024-25 season, when the club won their 20th league title under Arne Slot and returned to the Champions League. The wage bill increased by £42m, while total revenue reached a record £703m, driven by increased commercial revenue of £323m and matchday revenue of £116m. Despite these record revenues, the club's post-tax profit remained modest at £8m due to rising administrative and operational costs totaling £657m. This contrasts sharply with the previous season's £57m loss when the club failed to qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool's CFO emphasized the club's commitment to financial sustainability while competing at the highest level across men's and women's teams.
