Liverpool are preparing to refresh Arne Slot’s squad in the summer and are open to offloading as many as five players.

 

 

 

Liverpool are currently cruising their way to a 20th top flight title as Arne Slot’s team lead Arsenal by a substantial gap of 12 points.

 

 

 

 

 

But the Reds remain ready to back their manager during the next transfer window with new signings and selling players who are deemed surplus to requirements.

 

 

 

However, some of the players who Slot is prepared to part ways with may raise some eyebrows amongst Liverpool supporters.

 

 

 

 

 

Liverpool ready to sell five players this summer

 

 

 

Liverpool are preparing for an ‘exciting’ summer transfer window as they plan to reshape Arne Slot’s squad, according to Florian Plettenberg.

 

 

 

The Merseyside club are ready to make several key new additions but that will involve the potential departures of around five players.

 

 

 

Liverpool’s list of players they are prepared to offload includes Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota.

 

 

 

Kelleher and Chiesa leaving Anfield this summer won’t come as much of a surprise to many Liverpool fans, but there will be question marks if Endo, who cost Liverpool £16m, Elliott and Jota were sold.

 

 

 

Kelleher is wanted by Chelsea and Newcastle, meanwhile, Chiesa has been linked with a return to Italy.

 

 

 

Liverpool must keep hold of Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, and Diogo Jota

 

 

 

Slot has labelled Endo as an ‘important’ player for his Liverpool team and he is right with the midfielder proving to be a key in helping close out matches.

 

 

 

Endo is becoming a leader behind the scenes and appears to be well respected in the Liverpool dressing room, so to sell him would be a mistake.

 

 

 

Elliot proved his worth to Slot’s squad with his winning goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the first-leg and at 21, he still has so much room for improvement.

 

 

 

Jota wanting to leave would be understandable given his struggles to break into the team, however, his importance off the bench remains high.

 

 

 

Erling Haaland’s agent has ‘spoken to Liverpool’ about signing 14-goal striker this summer

 

 

 

 

 

Liverpool may well be on the lookout for a new striker in the summer transfer window.

 

 

 

Indeed, Darwin Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer, and the Reds could well be in the market for a new number nine.

 

 

 

Alexander Isak has been linked with Liverpool, and while that is a big-name signing, the Reds have now been linked with a more low-key option.

 

 

 

Indeed, according to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1TV, Liverpool have been offered Moussa Sylla from Schalke.

 

 

 

According to the journalist, Rafaela Pimenta, Erling Haaland’s agent, has been touting Sylla around, and Liverpool have been approached as a potential suitor.

 

 

 

Liverpool offered Moussa Sylla

 

 

 

Kay shared what he knows about the striker.

 

 

 

According to the journalist, Sylla has been offered to both Liverpool and Manchester United.

 

 

 

The forward has been shining for Schalke this season, and he’s considered to be way too good for the German second tier.

 

 

 

“Moussa Sylla from Schalke, do you know much about that one?” Kay was asked.

 

 

 

“Yeah, I was speaking to someone in Germany about that one, and they said that Rafaela Pimenta, who is his agent, the same agent as Erling Haaland. She’s pushing him around Europe, especially the Premier League, she’s spoken to Manchester United about him, she’s spoken to Liverpool about him

 

 

 

“He’s taken that league by storm, the Bundesliga 2. They think that at 25 he needs to make that big move now, which is why Pimenta is pushing him out now. Whether he goes to Man United or Liverpool, I don’t know, but yeah, it’s an interesting story for me because it’s someone I’ve never heard of.”

 

 

 

Players to come from Bundesliga 2

 

 

 

It would be easy for Liverpool fans to turn their noses up at a German second-tier player. After all, it’s not the best league in the world.

 

 

 

However, Sylla has scored 14 goals this season, and a number of top players over the years have come from teams in the German second-tier.

 

 

 

Indeed, when you look at some of the top transfers from the German second-tier over the years, there are some superstar names in the mix.

Of course, a lot of these players were leaving recently-relegated clubs and barely spent much time in the German second-tier, but, as Kay says, Sylla is a player who should never have been playing at this level in any case.

 

 

 

Liverpool have had a lot of joy shopping in Germany over the years – Roberto Firmino was incredible after signing from Hoffenheim, while Ibrahima Konate has been brilliant after signing from RB Leipzig, and who knows? Perhaps Sylla could be another bargain from Germany.
