Liverpool's Premier League-winning heroes are reportedly at risk of losing out on a big pay day in their next contracts as they battle to stay in the race for the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp's squad were set to receive bumper deals when they signed their next contracts after delivering the club's first top-flight title in 30 years, but that could be scrapped if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League because it would leave a significant shortfall in the club's finances.
No player has extended their terms since winning the league and Liverpool are now down in eighth and in danger of missing out on a place in Europe's elite competition - which earned them £95million when they won it in 2019 - after suffering their sixth successive home defeat at the weekend to Fulham.
