Southampton could earn a huge windfall from Liverpool's Champions League run.

The Sun says the Reds face a £10million payout to Southampton if they win the Champions League.

The deals for former Saints Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane, Dejan Lovren, Nathaniel Clyne and Adam Lallana all contain a bonus-payment clause should the Reds lift the European Cup.

The Merseysiders agreed a £75m fee to sign Van Dijk in January, with £70m guaranteed and a further £5m dependent on the club's achievements during the Dutchman's 5½-year contract.

Mane went to Liverpool for £30m in 2016, Clyne arrived in 2015 for £12.5m, while Lallana (£25m) and Lovren (£20m) moved in 2014.

And club accounts reveal the Reds are currently liable for at least £15m in additional transfer payments.
