Federico Chiesa is also expected to depart.

Doubts remain over Gomez and Curtis Jones, given they only have one year remaining on their deals.”Wingers targeted by Liverpool ahead of 2026 summer transfer windowIf Salah and Chiesa both leave, Liverpool’s natural wide options going into 2026/27 would consist of just Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha.Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak can be used on the left and right as well, but all three lack the pace of natural wingers.However, a number of names are already being linked with potential moves to Anfield this year.It was claimed this week that Liverpool made contact to sign Bazoumana Toure from Hoffenheim.Elsewhere, Anthony Gordon could be allowed to leave Newcastle United this summer amid potential PSR concerns for the Magpies.A new name also emerged this month, with it said that Brighton forward Yankuba Minteh will feature on Liverpool’s shortlist of potential new signings in 2026.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
