Liverpool wage bill dramatically reduces after top four failure amid summer rebuild plans

Liverpool's wage bill will dramatically decrease should they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Jurgen Klopp's side are set to miss out on Europe's elite club competition for the first time in seven years. The Reds currently sit fifth, three points behind Manchester United and Newcastle, but Liverpool have played a game less than those two teams heading into their final day trip to Southampton.

Newcastle's superior goal difference means that the Magpies have all but secured their Champions League spot, but losing heavily against Leicester and Chelsea may give Liverpool half a chance.
