Amidst Mohamed Salah’s transfer conundrum, Liverpool may trade six players this summer.

The next manager and sporting director of Liverpool will have important transfers to make. Once more, Saudi clubs are likely to chase Mohamed Salah for a transfer.

Liverpool’s off-field activities this summer will be hectic as the Jürgen Klopp era draws to a conclusion. The German manager will leave at the end of the current campaign, and the search is still on to find his replacement.

Rúben Amorim, the manager of Sporting CP, is currently the front-runner to take over at Anfield this summer, but Liverpool is still considering other options as they try to select the best applicant.

Richard Hughes will formally begin his role as the Reds’ new sporting director in the summer upon his arrival from Bournemouth, as the club has already acknowledged. He will have a lot of pressing matters to handle, such as choosing what will happen to star players Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk after their contracts expire in 2025.

Both players have excelled this season, but in summer they will turn 33 and 32, respectively, and Salah will probably once more be a target for Saudi Pro League teams. It’s likely that Liverpool’s next manager would want his own players, thus new hires are anticipated.

Liverpool.com has examined the players who may leave Anfield this summer in light of this. Some feel it’s a fitting end to their Liverpool career, while others might be sold for a high price.

Luis Díaz

Even though Luis Díaz has been playing well lately, his future at Liverpool is far from assured. The Colombian’s contract with the Reds, which he signed when he moved from Porto in 2022, is still valid for three years.

Liverpool must decide this summer whether to sell the 27-year-old or offer him a new contract, according to The Telegraph. Díaz is well-liked by Paris Saint-Germain, who plan to find a replacement for Kylian Mbappé should he sign with Real Madrid.

Barcelona is rumoured to be monitoring the winger as well, although it is unlikely to have the funds to match Liverpool’s anticipated demands of $94 million (£75 million/€88 million).

Thiago Alcântara

Thiago, a midfielder for Liverpool, looks to have played his final game in a red shirt since his contract is up at the end of the current campaign. This season, the Spaniard has only made one brief appearance—during the loss to Arsenal.

However, he had another setback in that game, and Jürgen Klopp recently acknowledged that he had no idea when he would be ready to play again. He hasn’t been seen since. It’s thought that Thiago went back to Spain to receive more care for the issue.

This week is his 33rd birthday, and although he has displayed flashes of his indisputable talent, injuries have decimated the past two seasons. Given his enormous salary, a new contract for the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona player would not be financially prudent.

Joël Matip

Additionally, Jürgen Klopp hinted that defender Joël Matip might be out of the picture for Liverpool supporters. Although he has intensified his rehabilitation over the past week, Klopp acknowledges that the season is not long enough for him to make a comeback after being sidelined since sustaining an ACL injury in December.

Matip, who joined on a free transfer in 2016, is probably going to be remembered as one of the greatest acquisitions made by Klopp. He and Virgil van Dijk established a dependable relationship, and he has played in more than 200 games for the team.

However, he is anticipated to move on as he will turn 33 at the beginning of the following season. This season, Jarrell Quansah has stepped up to fill in for him, and during the transfer window, at least one new centre defender is probably on the team’s radar.

Mohamed Salah

The star player for Liverpool has already scored 23 goals this year despite missing a significant portion of it due to injury. Although he doesn’t seem to be slowing down, Liverpool might decide this summer that a sizable transfer offer is too good to refuse.

If Salah does not sign an extension, he will be free to speak with international clubs in January, and Liverpool will not want to lose him for nothing. Al-Ittihad, a Saudi team, made Liverpool a sizable offer a year ago, and it’s likely that the club will make another one during the transfer season.

Salah may be allowed to leave Liverpool this summer if he makes it obvious that he wants to relocate to the Middle East, according to HITC.

Van den Berg, Sepp

Sepp van den Berg, the forgotten man, has acknowledged in the past that he might need to move on during the summer window. The 22-year-old, who formerly played for PEC Zwolle as a teenager, joined Liverpool and made a few appearances during the 2019–20 campaign.

However, he had played just two seasons on loan at Preston in the Championship before going to Schalke in Germany, therefore those were his final games for the Reds. He has drawn attention this season at Mainz, the former home of Klopp. A permanent offer from the Bundesliga team would not be shocking.

Adrián

After the season, it is anticipated that Liverpool’s third-choice custodian would leave on a free transfer. Since joining from West Ham in 2019, he has shown himself to be a respectable team member, however he hasn’t played much this season.

The 37-year-old might decide to play somewhere else in the future, but right now a career shift into coaching seems more plausible.

Nat Phillips

Nat Phillips, a defender for Liverpool, may want to leave Anfield permanently this summer. He debuted in 2019 and even had a few appearances in the previous season.

However, he has been on loan this season, first to Celtic and now to Cardiff, so when the season ends, he will undoubtedly want to guarantee regular first-team play. With one more year left on his deal, Liverpool may still be able to get a fee.
