Liverpool have introduced a salary cap to prevent youth players from earning more than £40,000 per year.
The move follows similar initiatives from Premier League peers Tottenham and Southampton which will be applicable to players up to the age of 17.
In-keeping with the financial model of owners Fenway Sports Group, however, a series of incentivised bonuses which includes first-team, under-23 and loan appearances will top up those earnings.
Anfield officials believe the initiative, backed by manager Jurgen Klopp and Academy director Alex Inglethorpe, will provide a greater motivation for players intent on making the grade.
Plans to streamline the numbers at the club’s operations base in Kirkby are also set to be enforced in efforts to prioritise quality over quantity.
“I’ve always been at clubs for the long-term so when I see a 16-year-old player who is good, I can always wait for him,” Klopp told the Daily Telegraph.
“I can promise that before we sign a player who isn’t a lot better than what we already have, we will always use our own boys.
“That’s how the future should be, even in the crazy football transfer world. We want to be this special club.
“That’s why I am really interested in the talent groups and all these boys. We have created a situation where all these boys see a real perspective.
“That’s very important. They need to know that there is a way through.”
