Earnings are key at Anfield as Liverpool look for new faces to join Alexis Mac Allister.

Four senior players have departed, with Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita all leaving Merseyside. Goals have been outlined by the Reds and multiple names continue to be associated with a move.

Khephren Thuram is one of them, as are Gabri Veiga and Ryan Gravenberch. But if one of these tied players arrives, you may need to make room with additional spending.

Last season, Sadio Mane made a high profile departure from Merseyside when he decided to move to Bayern Munich. It doesn’t look like we’ll see any shocks when it comes to an Anfield exit, but some could be introduced on the fringes.

Caoimhin Kelleher – £10 million

The Republic of Ireland striker has been reduced to minutes in the League Cup and a few FA Cup games in recent seasons after establishing himself as Liverpool’s second-choice goalkeeper behind Alisson. Although he enjoyed success with the Reds during the 2021/22 season, his international place was under threat.

Southampton signed Gavin Bazunu from Manchester City last summer in search of stable goalkeepers, with the Irishman impressing during a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday. Aside from how Saints finished in the Premier League last season, he’s been pushing for Kelleher.

The battle for the number one shirt has prompted manager Stephen Kenny to speak out, urging the Reds keeper to steer first-team football away from the L4 after settling for Liverpool with just four appearances in all competitions .

Now the above £10m is just his market value, as reported by transfermarkt.co.uk, but he is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. Namely Brentford, who are currently contemplating a life without Spain goalkeeper David Raya.

He openly declared his desire to play for the title and there was much speculation that he would join Tottenham Hotspur. Even though this trace apparently no longer exists, information is still circulating about Manchester United as well.

If Liverpool sell him, it would mean looking for a reliable option to replace the Brazilian, who has won the player of the season award.

Nat Phillips  – £3 million

Nat Phillips has established himself as a cult hero at Anfield after his defensive stability helped the Reds overcome their injury woes.

Like his defensive partner Rhys Williams, they have stepped up at key moments to overcome the selection problems faced by Jurgen Klopp.

He made five appearances in all competitions for the Reds, but questions remained over his L4 future.

Phillips would not be pushed towards a departure from Liverpool following his services to the club, but he has been in the spotlight in recent months.

In January, a hamstring injury suffered by Ibrahima Konate thwarted a potential Phillips move as he was seen as a cover option for Joel Matip and Joe Gomez if Virgil van Dijk is out.

Turkish giants Galatasaray have reportedly been interested, while the defender has attracted interest from Premier League clubs in recent seasons. However, speculation over his future remained quiet this summer.

Rhys Williams – £1.7m

Williams created some of the defensive options that took Liverpool across the line behind closed doors during the season. He is also another defender whose playing time is limited as he is lower in the pecking order.

He found some minutes while on loan at Blackpool in the Championship, but those were cut short when he was recalled in January. The 22-year-old has three years left on his contract with the Reds and reports towards the end of last season suggest he has attracted interest from the second tier of English football.

There were indications that Liverpool were ready to accept an approach for the Preston-born defender. As with Phillips, there have been no concrete reports of a departure he could postpone this summer, but he could be an option after Liverpool U21 team-mate Leighton Clarkson moved to Aberdeen on a permanent basis.

Joel Matip – £10m

Joel Matip has proven to be one of the smartest deals in Liverpool’s recent history after signing Schalke on a free transfer. The Cameroon defender has won every piece of silverware at his disposal, making 187 appearances for the Reds since arriving seven years ago.

Liverpool and injury concerns have been a regular occurrence in recent years, with the 31-year-old himself suffering greatly. He resigned himself to just 17 Premier League appearances this season as he moved down the pecking order behind Ibrahima Konate.

The Reds need defensive options, but they also need to be healthy as often as possible – with this in mind, the new centre-backs have not yet been completely wiped out, even if midfield is a priority.

Matip still has a year left on his contract at Anfield, but the Reds could risk losing the then 32-year-old on a free transfer next summer. It means that this summer could be the right time to cash in on the centre-back

Fabio Carvalho – 13 million pounds

It was a difficult debut season for Fabio Carvalho. Having signed from Fulham, he has come with a promise and while the roof remains there and is untouched by the youngster, he has faced questions about his future.

His playing time was reduced following the post-World Cup restart as Liverpool pushed for European qualification. Even before the curtain fell on the season, Carvalho faced interest from the likes of RB Leipzig, who saw an offer rejected by Liverpool.

“I would like to make all these decisions with the guys before I talk about it (publicly),” Klopp said in late April. “There is no decision yet in any direction.
“What I can say is he’s been exceptional again this week in training.

He’s really exceptional. So, yeah, we’ll talk and then we’ll see what we’re going to do – what he’s going to do. wants, what I think, but there is no decision yet.”

The club are unwilling to part ways with the 20-year-old but the German boss has hinted the midfielder, who was voted into the Championship team of the season before joining the Reds, could be loaned out.

“I think there could be a possibility that Fabio could be loaned out, but the fact is that it wasn’t Fabio’s best year of his career, of course, but it could have been his most important.” “No player has impressed me as much as Fabio, that’s the truth.

This talented boy came here with big dreams and big expectations and it didn’t work out – it was okay at first but it didn’t market at the end. But his work ethic will allow him to have a fantastic career because he trained and got nothing.
