As Liverpool prepares for a summer of transition under Arne Slot, several squad players face career-defining decisions amid limited minutes.

While the Reds’ title-winning campaign has been defined by collective strength, there were plenty of players who found themselves on the outside looking in.

Wataru Endo’s resilience has been a quiet subplot this season.

Despite starting just six matches across all competitions and playing only 713 minutes, the 32-year-old has become Slot’s trusted “closer,” entering matches late to shore up results.

He was among the few Liverpool players who could leave the pitch at Stamford Bridge with his head held high – and is anticipated to remain at the club next term.

Another player who has struggled for game time is Harvey Elliott.

Once a regular contributor under Klopp, the 21-year-old midfielder has seen his role diminish dramatically this season, sparking debates about his fit in Slot’s system and potential summer exits.

Under Klopp in 2023/24, Elliott established himself as a versatile attacking midfielder, amassing 2,784 minutes across 53 appearances

In this campaign, however, Elliott has managed just 652 minutes under Slot — a 79% reduction—with only 1 Premier League start.

Perhaps the most pressing dilemma surrounds Federico Chiesa, whose £12.5 million move from Juventus last summer has yielded scant returns.

The former Italian international has managed just 13 appearances (three starts) totaling 395 minutes-the fewest of any Liverpool first-team player

As a result, Italian journalist Daniele Longo has reported that the player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, will be in the city of Liverpool in the coming weeks to ‘take stock’ of the situation.

It is claimed that a relationship with Arne Slot has never fully developed for Federico Chiesa, with a transfer away a distinct possibility.

As a result, there is a sense that a ‘parting of ways’ is likely at the end of the season.

Chiesa finds himself torn.

Two ambitious clubs to relaunch one of the best Italian players.”
