Liverpool's weekly salary ranking: The two veterans are in the top two, with Ekitike at £200,000 in third place, even higher than Wirtz.

Data from the football salary website Capology shows that in Liverpool's player weekly salary rankings, veterans Salah and Van Dijk are in the top two, while new signings Ekitike and Wirtz are ranked third and fourth, with Nunez in tenth place.

Top 10 weekly salaries for Liverpool players:

• First: Salah, £400,000.
• Second: Van Dijk, £350,000.
• Third: Ekitike (new signing), £200,000.
• Fourth: Wirtz (new signing), £195,000.
• Fifth: Robertson, £160,000.
• Sixth: Chiesa, £150,000.
• Tied for sixth: Alonso, £150,000.
• Tied for sixth: Mac Allister, £150,000.
• Tied for sixth: Gravenberch, £150,000.
• Tenth: Nunez, £140,000.

With a weekly salary of only £55,000, Diaz, after seeing Chiesa's £150,000, understandably does not want to renew his contract and desires to leave. Liverpool has indeed treated the hard-working Diaz poorly in recent years. Additionally, Wirtz is the highest-valued player in the Bundesliga, clearly at a higher level than Ekitike. Given that both are new signings, it's quite absurd that Ekitike's weekly salary exceeds Wirtz's. To put it bluntly, many forwards produced by Frankfurt have been flops. If Ekitike, with his tall and slender build, fails to perform in the Premier League, this deal could backfire on Liverpool. What do you think?
