Liverpool's Premier League glory sees club faced with paying out more than £10MILLION in bonuses to players and rival clubs

Liverpool face paying out over £10million in bonus payments to their players and rival clubs as a result of their first title in 30 years.

In addition to the existence of a £4m players' pool to be shared out among the squad, as revealed by Sportsmail in February, many players are also due individual bonuses agreed when signing their most recent contract.

Liverpool must also pay transfer add-ons to several clubs including Arsenal, Southampton and Charlton.

Liverpool's individual player bonuses are far more lucrative than the players' pool, which works out at around £150,000 per man, with recent signings set to bank between £500,000 and £750,000.
