Liverpool have already undergone a lot of change this season, with several players already arriving at Anfield.
Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz are the two biggest names to have made the move to Merseyside, with Milos Kerkez set to be the next in line.
However, as well as arrivals, there have also been some departures with both Caoimhin Kelleher and Nat Phillips exiting the club.
Others, such as Jarell Quansah, are also on their way out, with the likes of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez also getting linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League.

A number of different players have been linked with a Liverpool move over the last couple of weeks, but now, one name seems to have emerged above the rest.
Malick Fofana is now one of Liverpool’s main priorities this summer
If Liverpool are wanting to keep up with their title rivals, then plenty of changes will have to be made.
For the past few years, the Reds have always been a team to sell first and then buy, but this time around, they seem to be the ones making all the moves.
Although Wirtz’s move was set in stone a couple of weeks ago, if you’d have said to a Liverpool fan that the young German would be joining them at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, they’d have laughed you out.

And, even though Wirtz’s move has dominated headlines, the Reds seem to have a new target in their sights in Olympique Lyon ace Malick Fofana.
That is, according to a report from Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who has shared that Liverpool’s recruitment manager, Barry Hunter, has placed the winger at the ‘top of his list’ this summer.
Other clubs such as Chelsea have been linked with an interest over the last couple of weeks, but with Tavolieri saying that the attacker is worth around €50million (£42million), a deal with Liverpool could well be on the cards.
That is, especially if either Diaz or Nunez chooses to exit this summer.

Where Liverpool stands on the futures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez
One player who has consistently been linked with a move away from Liverpool is Nunez.
The attacker had yet another disappointing season in the 2024-25 campaign and failed to live up to expectations.
He only contributed to 14 goals last season, and with many clubs across the globe, such as Napoli, interested in acquiring his services, it doesn’t feel like there’s much of a future left for him at Anfield.
Diaz, on the other hand, is a player who Slot doesn’t want to get rid of, but if the right offer comes in, his exit would be considered.
Barcelona seemed like the most likely place for the Colombia international to go, but with their interest cooling over the last week or so, that’s no longer on the table.
Changes have been aplenty at Liverpool thus far, and until deadline day hits, the Reds can never be ruled out of any deal.
