He has already been advised to get rid of two Liverpool players.

Eintracht Frankfurt star Willian Pacho has been in the news a lot in recent months.
TBR Football exclusively revealed this week that scouts from Liverpool and Manchester United were present at the Allianz Arena last Saturday to watch Pacho live.
Arsenal have been linked with a move to sign the Ecuador international, while Tottenham Hotspur are said to be interested too.
Now, BILD and Fussball Transfers share the latest on the situation.
It has been claimed by the latter that Frankfurt are open to selling Pacho and have even identified a replacement – Lilian Brassier of Stade Brest.
However, the Bundesliga club want £51 million to let him go.
Liverpool are interested in Pacho and BILD have claimed that the Reds could sign him this summer and then loan him back to Frankfurt for another year.
That could sweeten the deal for Die Adler this summer.

Liverpool are very likely to sign a new centre-back this summer.
Virgil van Dijk is not getting any younger and Joel Matip is all set to be released once his contract expires in July this year.
A central defender is a necessity, and Willian Pacho checks a lot of boxes.
TeamTalk describe him as a ‘quick, strong and powerful’ defender and have compared his athleticism to that of Tottenham’s Cristian Romero.
In the Bundesliga this season, Pacho has played 30 games.
Those are some really impressive numbers for a player of Pacho’s age, especially considering that this is his first-ever season in a top European league.
Pacho has the potential to become a real star, and that is probably why Liverpool want to sign him.
