Federico Chiesa will become the fifth highest earner at Liverpool if Trent Alexander-Arnold's shock move to Real Madrid goes through.

Yet a look at his weekly and yearly salary suggests a player who might be otherwise starting in the top-flight.

While Chiesa has played little football, his salary, which is purported to be worth around £150,000 per week, makes him the sixth highest earner at Anfield.



Only Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker and Andrew Robertson earn more money than him on the red side of Merseyside, according to Spotrac.

However, with reports claiming that Alexander-Arnold could soon move to Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season, Chiesa will move into the top five highest earners.

While it is yet to be confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool, reports from Sky Sports News claim Real Madrid are holding talks with the England international's representatives.

The report also states that Alexander-Arnold's preference is to join Carlo Ancelotti's squad, even though the Reds are yet to be told by the Champions League holders that an agreement has been reached.

The right-back has been at Liverpool throughout his career and made his full debut for the Reds in 2016 in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup.

He has since gone on to win everything there is to win at Anfield, playing a key role under Jurgen Klopp and Slot.

This season, Alexander-Arnold has contributed three goals and seven assists in 39 appearances from right-back.

While he will be missed by the club if he departs, Reds fans have also been excited by understudy Conor Bradley, who has impressed when called upon.

The Northern Irishman particularly stood out in the 2-0 home victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, when he helped mark Kylian Mbappe out of the game.
