7 Liverpool players still being linked with summer exits: Firmino…

It’s been another busy summer of transfer market at Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp finetunes his squad but there’s still expected to be plenty of outgoings at Anfield before the window closes.

Last season’s Premier League and Champions League runners-up have signed Darwin Nunez, Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho as they look to regenerate their team.

But the Reds have also let a number of players leave this summer. The headline departure has been Sadio Mane’s move to Bayern Munich, while Divock Origi, Ben Davies, Neco Williams, Takumi Minamino and Loris Karius have also left for pastures new.

We’ve identified a further seven players that could exit the club this summer, ranging from club legends to promising academy products looking to prove themselves on loan elsewhere.

Roberto Firmino

Liverpool have significantly revamped their forward line in 2022, signing Luis Diaz from Porto and Benfica striker Darwin Nunez while allowing Sadio Mane to leave the club.

And Firmino, who has just a year left to run on his current deal, has yet to enter discussions with the club about a potential renewal and could be allowed to leave Liverpool this summer if a suitable offer comes in.

While the Brazil international isn’t a starter at Anfield these days, he retains significant quality and would be an asset for a number of Champions League clubs across Europe.

While Keita enjoyed arguably his best season at Liverpool in 2021-22, it’s unlikely the club would allow the player to leave for free next summer and Klopp is keen on signing Jude Bellingham to reinforce his midfield in the future.

Liverpool aren’t actively looking to sell Keita but don’t be surprised if the Guinea international was allowed to leave for the right fee.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Oxlade-Chamberlain is in danger of becoming the forgotten man at Liverpool.

Signed in the summer of 2017, the midfielder’s time at Anfield has been almost ruined by injury and medical expert Ben Dinnery, who runs the Premier Injuries site, believes the player will never likely be a Liverpool starter again.

“The brutal reality of the…
