Liverpool's newly appointed manager Andoni Iraola is set to face a significant challenge as the club starts the new season on August 21, 2026. The departure of star players such as Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konate has left the team with notable voids. Despite this, the club has made some signings like Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz, but there is a clear need for additional reinforcements due to injuries to Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, and Jeremie Frimpong.

With a third-highest wage bill in the Premier League, Liverpool will need to invest heavily to field a competitive squad. The top earners at Liverpool for the 2026/27 season are expected to be Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alexander Isak, all earning £350,000 per week, tied for the highest salaries. Other top earners include Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, and Florian Wirtz, each earning £250,000 per week.

Alisson Becker, Alexis Mac Allister, and Federico Chiesa also earn around £150,000 per week, followed by Jeremie Frimpong at £100,000 per week.
