Liverpool has pocketed a multi-million-pound windfall from UEFA for releasing its players to compete in national competitions.

UEFA has confirmed that 901 clubs have been given payments totalling around $265 million as part of the Club Benefits Programme, with Liverpool getting a slice of the pie.

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

It's been revealed that Liverpool has been handed a payment worth $4 million by UEFA for allowing its players to participate 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 shifted 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 raked in more than the Reds in England as part of the Club Benefits Programme, with City bagging close to $6 million compared to $4.47 million for the Gunners.

Across Europe, Real Madrid out-earned Liverpool by bagging $5.5 million from UEFA, while its La Liga rivals Barcelona pocketed $5 million, the same amount as Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich raked in $5 million as part of the programme, while Inter Milan topped the earnings in Italy with a $5.35 million payment from UEFA.
