The Premier League season is rapidly approaching with Arne Slot’s title defence starting vs Bournemouth at home on the 21st of August.
Even before that, the Reds will want to start the season with silverware in the Community Shield final against Crystal Palace this Sunday.
However, there are more than a few players who want to make their futures clear before the season starts proper.
Tyler Morton, who has been around the Liverpool first team for years now, is set to make the switch to Olympique Lyon after completing his medical on Monday.
Stefan Bajcetic is another youngster who needs a clear direction before the window closes on September 1.
The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Las Palmas.
However, Ian Doyle of the Liverpool Echo has revealed three players that are allowed to depart this summer amid Arne Slot’s squad overhaul.
21-year-old Luca Stephenson finds himself at the center of significant interest after an impressive loan spell at Dundee United last season.
He earned their Young Player of the Season award, and Liverpool will look to extend his deal before sending him out again.
Championship outfit Swansea City and League One sides Cardiff City, Reading, and Rotherham United are all circling?
Scottish club Aberdeen is even considering a permanent move.
James McConnell is also a candidate to leave on loan, with West Bromwich Albion, Ipswich Town, Derby County, Oxford United, and Swansea all enquiring about his availability, while French Ligue 1 newcomers Metz are also tracking the talented youngster.
Finally, according to the report, striker Lewis Koumas will once again depart the club for more experience this summer, after a loan spell at Stoke City in 2024/25.
He netted six goals in 49 Championship appearances with the Potters.
Spanish outfit Sevilla have made inquiries about the forward.
Norwich City, Sheffield United, Hull City, Preston North End, Oxford United, alongside Birmingham City and Wrexham have all expressed serious interest.
