As well as making some excellent signings at Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has also managed to get rid of players at the peak of their value.
The Liverpool squad was in need of an overhaul when Klopp took over in 2016 and the manager has shown that he has a ruthless streak.
We’ve looked back at the 12 players to move for £10million or more under Klopp’s tenure, to see how they fared after leaving Anfield.
Jordon Ibe
Ibe was tipped to be the next Raheem Sterling, but he scored just one goal in 41 Premier League appearances for the Reds.
After being deemed surplus to requirement by Klopp, he completed a £15million move to Bournemouth in 2016, but the winger failed to justify that price tag during his four years with the Cherries.
The 26-year-old then made one appearance during a brief spell at Derby County in 2020-21 before joining Turkish second division side Adanaspor in January 2022.
Joe Allen
Despite being named in the Euro 2016 Team of the Tournament, Liverpool decided to sell Allen to Stoke City for £13million.
“I actually had a text message off a friend congratulating me about making the move when I didn’t even know it was happening at the time,” Allen told the Daily Telegraph in 2017.
“Not knowing whether the club intend to sell you or keep you, especially when you’re trying to ask the question, is disappointing.”
The midfielder has made over 200 appearances for the Potters in the last six seasons but couldn’t prevent their relegation to the Championship in 2018.
Christian Benteke
Klopp’s arrival saw Benteke fall down the pecking order at Anfield and the striker joined Crystal Palace in a £32million deal in 2016.
The Belgium international finished the 2016-17 season as Palace’s top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions, but it all went downhill from there.
Since the start of 2017-18, Benteke has averaged just four goals a season and he’s recently fallen out of favour under Patrick Vieira.
