A prominent striker, aged 25, is reportedly seeking a transfer from his current club in the Northeast to a top Merseyside team. The player, previously a fan favorite, is now pushing for an exit, with sources indicating he may refuse to play until the move is finalized.
The Merseyside club has tabled a £110m bid for the forward, but his current team is holding firm at a £150m valuation. If the transfer goes through, the striker could become one of the highest-paid players at his new club.
Wage Details for the Potential Transfer
At his current club, the player earns approximately £120,000 per week, placing him among the top earners. A move to the Merseyside outfit could see his weekly wages increase significantly to around £250,000, matching the salary of another recent signing from a German club. Only two players at the club, the team’s star forward and captain, would earn more, with salaries of £400,000 and £385,000 per week, respectively, following their recent contract renewals.
The Merseyside club, once considered conservative in their spending, has climbed the wage bill rankings in the Premier League. This potential transfer could break the league’s record for the highest transfer fee, signaling a shift in the club’s financial strategy.
How Does This Compare to Other Top Strikers?
Other major clubs have also invested heavily this transfer window. A London-based club signed a prolific goalscorer from last season, reportedly earning £200,000 per week. A Manchester club’s star striker, a two-time Golden Boot winner, commands an impressive £525,000 per week. Meanwhile, another Manchester side has revamped their attack, with their new forward earning £160,000 per week. A West London club’s key attacker, a consistent goalscorer, earns a more modest £130,000 per week.
