Begins the exit operation in Liverpool. Until nine players could leave the English club this summer. The team led by Jurgen Klopp intends to clear the squad in the face of two possible incorporations in the transfer market.
As reported The Athletic, the nine players to leave would be Marko Grujic, Harry Wilson, Nat Phillips, Neco Williams, Sheyi Ojo, Loris Karius, Divock Origi, Xherdan Shaqiri and Taiwo Awoniyi. And is that Liverpool is ready to have a clear summer in exchange for raising funds to incorporate some players on the German coach's wish list. The most desired are a new midfielder and a forward.
Players like Grujic and Wilson, who have not been successful at Liverpool but at Porto and Cardiff, respectively, have all the ballots to leave, yes, for no less than 15 million.
One of the best known cases is that of Loris Karius. The goalkeeper was Klopp's number one in goal for a season and had enjoyed the majority of starts until disaster struck in the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Kiev. Since then it has been yielded and is another of the clear options to leave Anfield this summer.
From hero to transfer
Nat Phillips, last season's hero, could also pack his bags and head off to a new club in the coming weeks. After his remarkable intervention in defense replacing the casualties of Joe Gómez and Virgil van Dijk, all the radars indicate that he will leave this summer.
The arrival of Ibrahima Konaté and the return of Joel Matip turns his hero role into a handover. For this they will seek to obtain everything they can for its sale. A busy summer is coming at Anfield.
