Liverpool have received a multi-million-pound payment from UEFA for releasing their players to compete in national competitions.

UEFA have confirmed that 901 clubs have received payments totalling £200million as part of the Club Benefits Programme, with Liverpool receiving a portion of the funds.

The Reds are one of 40 English clubs to be given a payment, one of the highest in the country.

It has been confirmed that Liverpool have received a payment worth €3.54million (£3.04million) by UEFA for allowing their players to compete in national tournaments between 2020-24.

The payments were structured so that each club was awarded equally for players who competed in either the Nations League or European qualifiers.

This then changed to fees being paid per player per day for Euro 2024 last summer, while the rearranged Euro 2020 in the summer of 2021 was not included as part of the payments.

Liverpool, along with the other 19 Premier League clubs, all received a payment from UEFA.

Only Manchester City and Arsenal received more than the Reds in England as part of the Club Benefits Programme, with City earning €5.17million (£4.44million) compared to €3.89million (£3.34million) for the Gunners.

Across Europe, Real Madrid earned more than Liverpool by pocketing €4.79million (£4.11million) from UEFA, while La Liga rivals Barcelona received €4.43million (£3.8million), the same as Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
