Liverpool's transfer prospects may rest on several significant sales if they wish to in any way mimic their eye-watering expense of 2025 this summerAndoni Iraola is yet to truly stamp his own mark on the Liverpool squad as pre-season gets underway for real this weekend. However, there's a queue of rumoured targets being lined up to make the switch to Anfield at some point over the next five weeks.Chief among those priorities is a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah following his expedited exit.

However, given Tottenham's spending record so far this summer, it's not unfeasible an offer may come that simply proves too tempting to turn down.The Dutchman's output dropped considerably last season compared to his first two-and-a-half campaigns at Anfield. However, that was perhaps to be expected as the arrivals of Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz left question marks as to what his role in the team really was.There may come a point this summer where it's decided selling Gakpo now, at age 27, makes more sense than keeping him in the rotation.

However, the player may be a driver in his own exit if it's a more prominent role he's after and Iraola can't give him guarantees.Federico Chiesa - £12.5mWhile he's been anything but vital to Liverpool's fortunes since arriving, Federico Chiesa could have a very big hand in the club's transfer fate this summer. Transfermarkt values the player at around £60m, though it's safe to say Liverpool would demand more, even after entering the final two years of his current contract.That situation regarding his deal is the only question mark that could make a move plausible all of a sudden this summer.
