Liverpool £57m reveal after record-breaking update

Liverpool suffered a pre-tax loss of £57million last season despite posting a record-breaking revenue, sources have told Football Insider.

The Premier League side’s accounts for 2023-24 revealed their revenue surged from £594milliion to a new club-record figure of £614million.

The Merseyside giants’ strong financial performance was driven by a significant uplift in commercial revenue, which increased from £272million in 2022-23 to £308million.

Liverpool’s matchday income rose from £80million to £102million, but their media revenue fell from £242million to £204million due to their lack of Champions League football last season.

Chief financial officer Jenny Beacham insisted operating a financially sustainable club continues to be the priority despite the £57million pre-tax loss surpassing their previous highest-ever deficit of £49.4million from 2012.

Liverpool’s wage bill also increased from £373million to £386million last season, while former manager Jurgen Klopp and his staff received a combined £9.6million following their departures.
