"That's according to former Everton chief Keith Wyness, who told Football Insider that this could end up being a challenging summer for the Reds. Liverpool spent big in the transfer market last summer, bringing in big names like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike as exciting signings for the present and future. It could be harder for Liverpool to continue progressing next season if they don't get that bonus cash from being in the Champions League, according to Wyness."
"As I say, five places seem to be what will get you into the Champions League and Arne Slot needs to get them in there. It would be a hit of maybe 50, 60 million that they've probably been budgeting in the forecast right now. And that's a big number for Liverpool. They were just making some big strides in terms of the revenue coming in, hitting some record numbers."
Liverpool faces a potential shortfall of around £50–60m if the club fails to qualify for next season's Champions League. The loss would reduce revenue, remove sponsor bonuses, and strain a business model built on recent heavy transfer spending and large wages. Significant summer signings such as Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike increase payroll commitments and raise the importance of European income. Missing the Champions League would force budget adjustments, weaken competitiveness in revenue comparisons with rivals, and could put the manager under severe pressure, potentially costing him his job.
