Liverpool boss Arne Slot is looking to reduce his squad size before the start of the 2025/26 season.
Ahead of his Premier League title defence, Slot has spent £265m as part of a squad revolution at Anfield, with Florian Wirtz's switch from Bayer Leverkusen setting a new British transfer record.
Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike have also landed on Merseyside with Slot is still eyeing a sensational move for Newcastle United talisman Alexander Isak.
However, to fund and offer for Isak, and balance the club's finances after a big-spending summer, Slot will need to sell.
Luis Diaz has already moved on to Bayern Munich as part of a £60m move with Jarell Quansah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher also departing from the club.
Federico Chiesa has been linked with a loan return to Serie A with the club also considering exit options on Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez before the transfer window closes on September 1.

The latest name to be tipped for an exit is midfielder Tyler Morton, but he will not be remaining in the Premier League, with Ligue 1 giants Lyon tabling an offer.
Tyler Morton's Liverpool contract, transfer value, stats
Morton joined Liverpool's academy aged seven in 2009 and the 21-year-old has risen through the club's ranks to the first team.
Jurgen Klopp handed him a Premier League debut in November 2021, and he's made 14 senior appearances for the Reds, across all competitions.
Klopp opted to send him on loan to Blackburn Rovers in 2022/23 and Hull City in 2023/24 and he was a vital player in both EFL Championship spells.
Morton opted to return to Liverpool last summer, to prove himself under Slot, but he failed to make a single Premier League appearance.
"I’m looking for game time, simple as that really," he stated during Liverpool's ongoing preseason tour.
"Last season was tough for game time for myself, it was a big learning year. I learnt a lot from players, the manager and staff, now I’m ready to play."
A title defence with England's U21 side at the UEFA European Championship over the summer has kept him in the shop window but Lyon will need to increase their latest bid.
Reports from The Times indicate Liverpool immediately rejected a £10m bid, but with Morton's contract expiring in 2026, they may have to settle if Lyon threaten to walk away from the negotiating table.
