UEFA has officially confirmed a financial boost for clubs ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.
This allotment may help many clubs heading towards key signings of the upcoming stars. The Reds will receive €3.54 million (£3.04 million) as part of UEFA’s Club Benefits Programme, as per UEFA.
This scheme compensates clubs for releasing players for international duty between 2020 and 2024. Liverpool benefited from several senior players participating in international competitions during that period.

UEFA Benefits Programme for 2020-2024 season
The payments cover tournaments such as UEFA Euro 2020 and the UEFA Nations League. It also includes UEFA-organised qualifying matches held over the past four years. The Club Benefits Programme is designed to reward clubs for supporting international football.
It helps balance the demands placed on clubs during busy international schedules. Liverpool’s involvement in these tournaments has now resulted in a financial gain. The payment provides an additional boost to their summer transfer budget.
It comes at a time when squad strengthening will be a key focus. Manager Arne Slot will likely welcome this extra funding. The amount, while not massive, can still support valuable squad reinforcements.

Anfield stars shine on the international stage
Liverpool’s players have consistently featured in major tournaments over the past few years. Stars like Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and others have played key international roles. Their involvement highlights the high quality of Liverpool’s squad on a global level.
UEFA’s payment scheme acknowledges the club’s contribution to international football. Other top European clubs will also benefit from similar payments. However, Liverpool’s share reflects their strong international representation.
The funds arrive at a crucial time, ahead of a busy summer window. With Champions League football back next season, reinforcements are essential. The financial boost could help secure important signings for the campaign ahead.
It also shows UEFA’s effort to support club football amid international commitments. Liverpool’s strategic planning can now continue with this added financial support.
