Liverpool has seen minimal player turnover over the past year, with the club focusing more on securing a new head coach and sporting director. However, this summer could bring significant changes.

The futures of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain uncertain, as all three are entering the final months of their contracts.

Losing even one of them would be a major challenge given their immense contributions to the team.

Additionally, young defender Jarell Quansah has been linked with a potential loan move, while speculation continues over possible new signings under Arne Slot.

Five Liverpool Players Linked with Summer Exits

According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool is preparing for an active summer transfer window, with plans to reshape the squad.

He named five players who could leave the club: Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, and Diogo Jota.

Liverpool Must Avoid Major Departures Without Replacements

If Liverpool intends to make significant signings, some departures are inevitable. However, fans may be concerned about losing key squad members, especially since the club has made few signings since early 2024. Any major exits should only happen if equally talented replacements are secured.

Kelleher appears the most likely to leave, given Alisson Becker’s brilliance and the expected arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili. Chiesa, who has struggled for game time since joining from Juventus, could also be loaned out.

Jota’s departure would be surprising, given his impact when fit, while Endo and Elliott have proven to be valuable squad players.

In modern football, squad depth is crucial, and Liverpool must carefully assess any potential exits, especially if they struggle to land their top transfer targets.
