A leaked document has reportedly revealed Liverpool's bizarre hotel demands.

As we all know, footballers are some of the highest-paid athletes in the world, meaning they often travel in luxury.

Back in the 16/17 season, Premier League giants Liverpool headed to Huddersfield for a pre-season friendly at the John Smith's Stadium.

Managed by Jurgen Klopp at the time, the Reds came away 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Marko Grujic and Alberto Moreno.

Prior to the match, a document revealing Liverpool's hotel demands was leaked via The Daily Star.

Titled 'LIVERPOOL FC - Domestic Hotel Requirements Seasons 2016-2017', the document listed all the specific requests for several players and the coaching staff.

It was suggested that then-captain Jordan Henderson had to be in a room next to fellow Englishman Adam Lallana.

Meanwhile, Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho must be provided with a fan in his room.

It was also requested that Klopp, along with assistant Peter Krawietz, had to be allocated smoking rooms.

In addition, the coaching staff's rooms have to be together but away from the players.

Liverpool demanded players all be on the same floor and in the same area as each other.

Double beds, Wifi and, naturally, a room key were allocated to all players. Each room had Pay TV, but phone calls in and out on the hotel line were blocked.

There were also specific requests when it came to the catering in each room.

For example, it was highlighted that all rooms must contain two, one-litre bottles of water and that the minibar must only contain fruit juice and water, with no alcohol or snacks permitted.

Liverpool also demanded porters to assist with bags and asked for luggage trollies when players arrived.

Players were also told to only wear New Balance clothing and accessories - except for footwear. New Balance was Liverpool's official kit supplier at the time.

Lastly, all players were also told to bring their passports as they were departing to the USA for a pre-season tour.

Now, with Arne Slot in charge, the Reds will for sure have an updated list of hotel requests.
