Should they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League, Liverpool's players will face a 5% drop in salary, according to the News of The World.
Liverpool players are granted performance related contracts, to provide an incentive for success. This includes a bonus for Champions League qualification and while the News of The World estimates that Liverpool will stand to lose at least £12million should they fail to qualify for next season's competition, the loss of player bonuses would save the club £2-3million in wages.
Since Rafa Benitez became Liverpool manager, the Anfield club has regarded Champions League football as a formality and players have been signed on the assumption that they will participate in Europe's premier club competition.
Liverpool find themselves embroiled in a tight battle for fourth place in the Premier League and face a crunch clash next week against rivals Manchester City.
