Merseyside Police have said they will not look into how Liverpool defender John Arne Riise's payslip was published on the internet.
Riise's home address, national insurance number and other personal details were circulated on Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal supporters' websites.
Liverpool will launch an investigation into how the 27-year-old's details, including his £139, 634 monthly pay packet were leaked into the public domain. Police will not take the matter any further as no complaint has been made.
"We are taking the matter extremely seriously and we are investigating," a Liverpool spokesman said.
"It must have been stolen but the player simply doesn't know how it has happened," a club insider said.
"I can assure you that John Arne Riise is not in the habit of throwing payslips out. It's clearly been stolen and taken without his permission. Nobody would want their details put all over the internet."
The Norwegian defender will be concerned that his home address has been released given that four of his Liverpool team-mates, José Manuel Reina, Peter Crouch, Jerzy Dudek and Daniel Agger have been burgled this year.
A source said: "There is a lot of delicate information about John now widely available on the net and it’s circulating like wildfire.
"John is particularly worried his address is out there in the open. There's the added concern that his national insurance number could be misused by fraudsters."
A quick search on the internet can see details of Riise's payslip which shows he was paid a basic monthly salary of £120,000, received £4,000 in appearance bonuses and a £250 "points bonus".
He was also awarded a Champions League salary increase of £15,384.62.
