Liverpool are preparing for a major clean-out after a disappointing 2025/26 campaign in which they failed to retain their Premier League title.
Several players are set to leave Merseyside as the club looks to update its roster. Read on as we break down the chances of a possible Liverpool exit this summer.

Joe Gomez
Joe Gomez is finding game time hard to come by under head coach Arne Slaughter.
The Dutchman clearly doesn’t think as highly of the 28-year-old as his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.
Gomez will likely leave in search of playing time as he tries to get back on his feet after several injury setbacks.
The England defender once looked like he could become a mainstay for the national team, with consistent playing time earning him a call-up to the national team.
AC Milan have been on the prowl and could turn their rumored interest into something concrete should the opportunity arise.
Federico Chiesa
Federico Chiesa, another player who failed to impress at Slott, is likely to return to Italy after a lackluster season in England.

The Italy international just wasn’t good enough and didn’t make a difference. The Reds hope to secure a sizeable fee from one of Italy’s biggest sides.
Liverpool had the great Leo Ngumoha waiting in the wings, ready to usurp his place. Fans love Chiesa, but his lack of impact means he’s more than required.
Wataru Endo
Wataru Endo has been reliable when called upon, but the Japanese midfielder could be on his way out this summer.
In the twilight of his career, he will be hungry for playing time, but he won’t get it under Sloter.
At this point, the move seems inevitable. This would allow Liverpool to bring in a younger, better, natural holding midfielder, something the center of the park has been craving.

Konstantinos Tsimikas
Konstantinos Tsimikas could also leave this summer. After falling further down the pecking order, he was loaned to Roma.
However, he has struggled to make a meaningful impact in Serie A and Roma are reportedly not keen on a permanent move.
Even with Andy Robertson expected to leave at the end of his contract, Tsimikas could still be considered more than required.
Stefan Bajcetyk
Stefan Basetic returned to Liverpool last summer but endured a frustrating season marred by injury setbacks.
The Spanish midfielder was once considered one of the club’s most promising young players.

Unfortunately, he has struggled to deliver on his early promise.
At 21 years old, time is still on his side, but Liverpool may decide that a permanent move elsewhere is the best way for him to regain his momentum.
A fresh environment might be just what he needs.
Calvin Ramsey
Calvin Ramsey is another player whose Liverpool career appears to be coming to an end.
He joined the club more than three years ago but is yet to make a Premier League appearance.
Ramsey has barely been allowed to prove himself, but that probably doesn’t matter at this stage. A permanent move away from Anfield now looks increasingly likely.

Harvey Elliott
Harvey Elliott may also find himself at a crossroads.
The Liverpool midfielder has endured a difficult loan spell at Aston Villa and has struggled to find opportunities under manager Unai Emery.
Elliott joined Villa in the hope of rekindling his career, but complications surrounding the terms of his loan deal have limited his involvement.
Elliott is likely to return to Anfield this summer but will eventually enter the transfer market and Liverpool may be looking to cash in.
Ibrahima Konat
Centre-back Ibrahima Konate continues to express his desire to stay at the club but has refused to commit, despite multiple deals being put on the table at the top.

Liverpool fans will have to come to terms with the fact that the affable Frenchman may leave this summer.
The 26-year-old is a target for Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
They are all considering free transfers, while Liverpool are left searching for worthy replacements in the market.
Andy Robertson
Robertson is another big name set to join the exodus. The left-back was a great servant, but he is no longer at his peak.
Robertson has fallen behind the team’s pecking order and will likely look elsewhere for a first-team start.
A move to Tottenham Hotspur has been linked with a move, but Atletico Madrid have also been keeping a close eye, waiting to make a move if he becomes available.

Liverpool have found a young, hungry replacement in Milos Kolquez. Nonetheless, the club may be in the market for a reliable representative for the Hungarian.
Mohamed Salah
Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah could still leave the club despite signing a multi-year contract almost a year ago. After nine wonderful seasons, it might be time to draw some curtains.
The 33-year-old has struggled to maintain his reputation this season. He scored just five goals and six assists in 21 league games.
The decline is staggering.
Salah has hampered Liverpool’s attack at times this season. He could decide to leave and start a new adventure.

Middle Eastern clubs, particularly those in the Saudi Professional League, continue to monitor his situation.
Replacing his output and impact would be a nightmare. There is no shortage of players on the market who can contribute more than 370 goals in 432 games.
