It is business the Premier League champions evidently feel is required to build on not only the success of the 2024/25 campaign, but over the course of the past decade.

Because of solid business management, Liverpool have a strong footing in regards to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules, allowing them to conduct business in the present day.

And the latest edition of the Football Benchmark report shows that over a longer period of time, it has helped them progress into a global superpower within their sport.

The Budapest-based report has recently published its 10th annual Football Valuation Report, which ranks European clubs based on their enterprise value (EV), which is essentially the total value of a club’s equity plus its net debt.

"Liverpool are Premier League champions and very much back in the Champions League picture again.

That looks set to continue for the longer term against the backdrop of the continued struggle of other members of the so-called ‘big six’, such as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

"Revenue will increase in the next set of accounts, buoyed by increased payments from the Premier League thanks to success and a return of Champions League football in the financial year.

Although questions have been raised over its scheduling, there is also the new FIFA Club World Cup to qualify for, with the second edition taking place in 2029.

The winners of the Champions League make the cut and have a shot at the £97m prize pot.
