The revamping of their stadium, whi✅ch has undergone several developments in recent years, has also proved e🐻normously lucrative.

Even while it is not hosting football matches in the summer, it is still 🌳proving fruitful.

And one global ⛎superstar’s arrival at the 62,000-seater stadium this week is set to particularly money-spinning for the Merseysiders.

Taylor Swift concerts could land £10m windfall for Liverpool

Taylor Swif💃t will play the first of three sold-out shows at Anfield on Thursday.

Research conducte💝d by industry experts has found that Swift’s decision to visit the city could be worth a staggering £49m to the local economy.

Liverpool, t💖he football club, will be the single biggest beneficiaries, with the reporting that they could land up to £10m in total for hosting the gigs.

Anfield is permitted to host up to six non-football events per season, and Liverpool will see their coffers further boosted later this summer when Pink performs at theꦓ stadium.

All told, the money they receive would likely be more 🐻than enough to cov🦋er Van Dijk’s contract.
