Liverpool to earn £175M for winning Premier League

Liverpool will pocket reasonable amount from winning premier league despite a 14% decrease in 'merit money' due to the ongoing pandemic.

Liverpool will pocket an eye-watering £175M for winning the Premier League this season.

According to The Times, Liverpool are set to miss out on £9million in 'merit money' for winning the Premier League due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Reds should have earned £63million in merit money for winning their first championship in 30 years but that amount will now be around £54M after a 14 per cent deduction.

This deduction is due to a drop in revenue coming in from broadcasters.

Jurgen Klopp’s men will still win the biggest performance-dependent bonus with the money going down by about £2.7m per place for teams below them in the league table.

We hope some of this money can be used for incoming transfers!
