Liverpool could earn as much as a staggering £155m as a result of winning the Premier League this season.
The Reds ran away with the title this season and finished on 99 points in the division to add the trophy to their Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup wins of the previous year.
And their success has certainly not harmed the club’s finances, with expert Swiss Ramble estimating the title win saw the club take home a total of £175m, before a rebate agreed by the Premier League to partially reimburse broadcasters was announced.
Prize money for each club at the end of the season is broken down into four sections – equal share, facility fees, merit payments and central commercial revenues.

Equal share is the 50% of total prize money which is shared between all 20 clubs, with Liverpool expected to earn £32m.
Facility fees, meanwhile, relates to the 25% based on the number of matches broadcast in the UK, with the Reds estimated to take away £31m.
Merit payments is where they really scoop up, however, with this payment based on the finishing position in the league table, and their reward for coming top of the pile is thought to be a cool £35.5m.
Finally, central commercial revenues are also shared between all clubs and is believed to be £5m each this year.

All of this, plus an increased figure of £71.3m from overseas TV, adds up to just shy of £175m… but the Reds potentially have to pay back £21.5m in TV money due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus crisis, which means the total stands at an estimated £150-155m.
The huge earnings may give Liverpool the ability to spend big this summer, with a number of potential new signings touted as Jurgen Klopp looks to build a squad which can try to retain the title next season.
