The next stage of Liverpool's preparations for next season is already underway as the Reds get ready to return to action.

Arne Slot will be welcoming his players back to training next week ahead of the first friendly of the summer against Preston on July 13, when we could see the likes of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong making their first appearance for the club.

How many of the current squad will be returning for training is up for debate though, with Liverpool looking to offload some big names before potentially making more signings.

Jarell Quansah already looks to be on his way to Bayer Leverkusen, while Darwin Nunez continues to be linked with a move to Napoli.

Luis Diaz is also being targeted by Bayern Munich, while Federico Chiesa could make way after just one season at Anfield.

The aim will be to recoup money in order to more big transfers later in the summer, with Alexander Isak continuing to be linked with a move Merseyside.

Speculation also continues over Marc Guehi, while Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike are supposedly on the Reds' shortlist.
