Judging wealth by this summer’s Liverpool, the club holding the record for most English top division championships signed multiple stars like Isak, Wirtz, and Ekpitike. Isak’s transfer set a Premier League record with a fee of €145 million. Compared to his £120,000 weekly wage at Newcastle, the Premier League’s Silver Boot winner last season will see his salary soar to £280,000 per week at Liverpool, ranking third in the team behind the veteran duo (Salah and Van Dijk).
Liverpool’s top earners in the squad:
Without Isak, Liverpool secured three straight wins in the first three Premier League rounds this season, the only team among the 20 in the league with a perfect record. Currently, they lead the Premier League table by 2 points. As the reigning champions, Liverpool aims to defend their title this season after signing several strong players in the summer window, while also targeting better Champions League results and possibly lifting the trophy again. After the September international break, how Klopp will utilize the top strikers Isak and Ekpitike is the hottest topic among fans. On September 14 at 21:00 Beijing time, Liverpool will face newly promoted Burnley away, where Isak is expected to make his Liverpool debut.
