Jose Enrique’s agent should be beatified.
The man is clearly a modern day miracle worker as he managed to blag his client an outrageous contract that sees the former Spain international earn thousands of pounds each week, for doing nothing more than basically posting pictures on Instagram,
Enrique isn’t alone however is earning hundreds of thousands of pounds by sitting on his arse at Anfield judging by this morning’s newspapers.
Christian Benteke is the club’s highest paid player, yet since Christmas has barely featured for the club as he is frozen out under Jurgen Klopp.
The Daily Star claims it has acquired the wage bill at Liverpool, and Jordan Henderson, despite being club captain, is only the joint fourth highest paid player at the club.
Benteke earns £140,000 per week, while Enrique, in joint seventh spot in the wages list, takes home a cool £75,000 per week.
The real scandal, however, is that Philippe Coutinho is paid less than fellow Brazilian Lucas per week.
Liverpool Wage bill:
1. Christian Benteke £140,000
2. James Milner £120,000
Daniel Sturridge £120,000
4. Jordan Henderson £100,000
Roberto Firmino £100,000
6. Lucas £80,000
7. Jose Enrique £75,000
Mamadou Sakho £75,000
Philippe Coutinho£75,000
Martin Skrtel £75,000
Also notable names on the list are Steven Caulker at £30,000 per week, despite being signed on loan in January, and Divock Origi, in joint 23rd, earning just £15,000.
No wonder the club wanted to charge the fans more money for tickets from next season.
