Liverpool have generated significant income through player sales this summer, raising close to £200 million as Arne Slot continues his squad restructuring at Anfield.
The Premier League champions have offloaded two major assets, with Luis Díaz joining Bayern Munich for £65.5 million and Darwin Núñez completing a move to Al-Hilal worth £56.6 million.
These departures have helped fund Liverpool’s own spending spree, which has exceeded £300 million on new signings including Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong.
The Reds have also cashed in on academy products, with Ben Doak joining Bournemouth for £25 million, while Jarell Quansah, Tyler Morton, and Nat Phillips have contributed to the club’s healthy profit margins through their exits.
Liverpool now face decisions on several other players who could depart before the September 1 deadline, with the Athletic naming five players who will likely depart for the September 1 deadline.
Harvey Elliott
Elliott, 22, faces a challenging situation at Anfield following the arrival of Florian Wirtz, which has effectively pushed him further down the pecking order.
Last season proved difficult for the former Fulham prospect, with Premier League appearances few and far in-between.
RB Leipzig are believed to be keen on the attacking midfielder, but will likely only make their move once they sell Xavi Simons to Chelsea.
The England Under-21 European Championship winner has admitted he needs to be “a bit selfish” about his future.
Kostas Tsimikas
The Greek left-back appears destined for an exit as Liverpool look to accelerate his departure before the window closes.
Tsimikas has been prepared to leave following the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, which has effectively made him third choice behind the new signing and Andy Robertson.
The 29-year-old has been conspicuously absent from Liverpool’s squad for both the Community Shield against Crystal Palace and the Premier League opener against Bournemouth, sending a clear message about his standing.
The likes of Nottingham Forest and Leeds United showed interest earlier in the window, while Lille flirted with taking the Greek international before moving on to other targets.
Liverpool are now open to loan proposals for Tsimikas, having initially hoped for a permanent transfer.
Lewis Koumas
The 19-year-old Welsh international has attracted significant interest from multiple clubs following an impressive loan spell at Stoke City.
Koumas scored six goals in 49 appearances for the Potters last season, participating in all but three Championship matches and demonstrating his readiness for senior football.
Eight clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation, including Spanish side Sevilla alongside Championship outfits Sheffield United, Hull City, Norwich City, Preston North End, Birmingham City, Oxford United, and ambitious Wrexham
James McConnell
Liverpool are considering loan approaches for the 20-year-old midfielder who has made 13 senior appearances for the club.
McConnell is close to signing a new long-term contract with Liverpool before departing on a season-long loan to accelerate his development.
The versatile midfielder, who can operate in various roles across the middle of the park, has attracted interest from multiple Championship clubs including West Bromwich Albion, Oxford United, Hull City, and Derby County.
Kaide Gordon
The 20-year-old winger represents a more complex situation, with multiple clubs across Europe and the Championship expressing interest in his services.
Swansea City have been strongly linked with Gordon, with manager Luke Williams actively seeking wide players before the transfer window closes.
