The Merseyside outfit will benefit from the World Cup finals in Qatar

While the 32 different national teams that will go to Qatar 2022 have already begun to reveal their final squad list, several of the clubs in England except Liverpool have been happy to see their players wearing the colours of their nation, and it is not that the Reds do not want their players to make the trip to the Middle East and proudly represent their country, but rather it is more an economic issue for which today this institution is throwing tantrums while at the same time looking with some envy at two of its biggest rivals in the Premier League.

The problem that has Liverpool so enraged today is the millions of pounds sterling that they will be losing with the World Cup, due to the monetary fund that FIFA itself gives as a reward to the clubs for each of their elements that are in the national team competition that is scheduled to begin on 20 November and end on 18 December, with the Reds for this 2022 edition having a somewhat discreet participation that makes them get a smaller slice of that big economic pie.

This programme of benefits for the different clubs around the world was launched by FIFA shortly before the 2010 edition in South Africa, with the organisation continuing to improve this reward in view of its resounding success in the following World Cup editions in Brazil 2014 and the most recent one in Russia 2018, with Liverpool obtaining approximately £6440 per player for their players four years ago, and now improving the situation in Qatar by receiving an extra two thousand coins.

The envy in this matter is generated when the lists of the different national teams show that both the Reds Devils and the Cityzens are a pair of institutions that will obtain very significant earnings for their players who will go to the World Cup, because while the Old Trafford team will have 12 representatives, the Ethiad Stadium team will have 15 players, being this figure a little more than double that of Liverpool, who will have only 7.

<strong>They will take advantage of having few World Cup players</strong>

Liverpool's short list consists of Alisson Becker and Fabinho for Brazil, Virgil van Dijk for the Netherlands, Ibrahima Konaté for France, Darwin Núñez for Uruguay, while Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson will feature for England.  The list could have been much longer and therefore had a juicier reward, but unfortunately Roberto Firmino, Joe Gomez and Thiago Alcántara were not considered for their national teams, while Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz failed to qualify, leaving Diogo Jota who misses the competition with Portugal due to injury.
