Liverpool are reportedly preparing for a major summer clear-out, with up to nine players potentially heading for the exit. Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson are already confirmed to be leaving.
Following a challenging season at Anfield, significant changes are expected in Arne Slot’s squad, with several high-profile names possibly joining Salah and Robertson in departing the club.
According to reports, experienced players such as Federico Chiesa, Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones, and Joe Gomez could all be moved on. Meanwhile, fringe players like Harvey Elliott, Rhys Williams, and Calvin Ramsay are also among those who may be sold.
But is such a large-scale overhaul the right move? While reshaping the squad may seem appealing, letting so many players go carries clear risks.
In particular, Mac Allister and Jones still appear capable of playing important squad roles under Slot, even if they might also attract significant transfer fees. After heavy spending last summer, Liverpool may need to balance their finances, which could force them to consider offers for key players like Mac Allister—even if they’d ideally prefer to keep him longer.
The Argentine midfielder has shown real quality during his time at Anfield, building on the strong performances he delivered at Brighton.
However, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has questioned Mac Allister’s form, suggesting midfield is an area the club needs to address. Speaking to Sky Sports, he noted that the midfielder tends to struggle as games go on, highlighting a concern Liverpool may need to fix in the upcoming transfer window.
