Liverpool’s financial growth was reflected kindly in Thursday’s news, which also brought the latest links to Saudi Arabia for Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool record highest revenue of any English club
For the first time, Liverpool are the Premier League‘s top earners after generating €836.1 million (£727.4m) in revenue, more than Man City (€829.3m), Arsenal (€821.7m) and Man United (€793.1m).
According to Deloitte’s Football Money League, Liverpool are ranked fifth globally, with broadcast and commercial growth owing to their rise up the table.
Only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain performed better than Liverpool, who cashed in on their success on the pitch, and off it with the use of Anfield for concerts.

It marks a steady rise for the club, although perhaps it might not sit well when there is a clamour for at least one signing this month – but none appear forthcoming.
Man United, meanwhile, have fallen to their lowest position in the Money League, ranking eighth globally and behind domestic rivals Liverpool, City and Arsenal.
In total, there are nine Premier League clubs that feature in the top 20 – West Ham‘s place at No. 20 speaks volumes about the league’s spending power!

ANALYSIS: How Liverpool finally ended wait for comfortable win
With the help of FotMob, Joanna Durkan took a look at how Liverpool were able to keep the opposition goalless and win by at least a three-goal margin for the first time in 350 days:
“At Marseille, Liverpool ended a 350-day wait, that extended into a 51st game (not counting the Community Shield), before they won by at least three goals without conceding.
“The last time Slot’s side were able to turn a 2-0 advantage into a 3-0 scoreline (or more) was against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg on February 6, 2025.
“They won 4-0 that evening at Anfield, but it took nearly a year for Liverpool to make life comfortable for themselves again, with the lack of a low block helping Slot’s men.”
