Liverpool now have the fifth highest wage bill in world football after their fees rose by 17.5% last season it has been revealed.
The Reds paid out a hefty £310million just £2m shy of Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Above the La Liga side are Manchester City who spent £315m, Manchester United are in second place having paid out £332m and way out in front are Barcelona who spent an incredible £438m on wages last campaign.
The reason for the increase is likely due to the additions in the summer of 2018 which saw the Reds splash out £163million in transfer fees.
In came Alisson from Roma, Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, Fabinho from Monaco and Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke, all of whom are likely to receive a high wage packet.
Virgil van Dijk also signed from Southampton for £75 million in January of 2018.
The Reds are above German champions Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Juventus and Arsenal.
That means five Premier League teams make the top 10 with Tottenham the only 'big six' side not included
