Liverpool have a busy window in store to try and fix the issues that have derailed their Premier League season, and that will likely mean a number of summer departures.
There is work to be done on the buying front. Liverpool have to replace Mo Salah and make additions in midfield and defence.
More players should be signed than sold. Liverpool’s squad isn’t big enough to withstand the wave of injuries that washes over the club every season.
You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it?
Who should Richard Hughes be targeting above all…

But departures are inevitable. We’re giving FSG a hand with making the tough decisions.
Keep or Sell each Liverpool player this summer
Alisson Becker
Liverpool triggered Alisson’s one-year extension, but that doesn’t make a sale impossible. He should stay at Anfield for another season, but it might be wise to start integrating the next player more.
KEEP
Giorgi Mamardashvili
Liverpool’s long-term number one. He will be itching to establish himself in the role.
KEEP
Freddie Woodman
A third option with experience and maturity.
KEEP
Conor Bradley
Bradley’s recurring injury problems are becoming somewhat of a concern, but he’s worth gambling on for another season at least. A quality player when fit.

KEEP
Jeremie Frimpong
No sales yet. Frimpong has looked better and better as the season has gone on, just not sure about his strongest position.
KEEP
Joe Gomez
The first to go. Gomez has been close to the exit door for a couple of windows. Liverpool’s longest-serving player deserves a proper sendoff, but a new challenge would be the best thing for everyone.
SELL
Ibrahima Konate
The Frenchman will go for free — it just has that feel about it. Konate is too good not to attract the biggest clubs, and the longer this drags on the more it starts to look like a summer where Liverpool lose control of the situation.
LEAVING.
Virgil van Dijk
For as long as he can physically play at this level, it’s an easy answer with the Liverpool captain.
KEEP
Milos Kerkez
Signed on a long-term deal last summer and already looks like part of Liverpool’s next core. There is no scenario where moving him on now makes any sense.

Andy Robertson
Another who looks set to depart for free. Robertson has been a loyal servant, but his wish for more minutes won’t be granted at Anfield.
LEAVING
Ryan Gravenberch
It has been a down year for Gravenberch compared to his breakout campaign, but there’s still an elite midfielder in there and he just signed a new deal.
KEEP
Wataru Endo
Endo has had value, leadership and professionalism, but this feels like the right time to move him on.
SELL
Stefan Bajcetic
Interested to see what becomes of Bajcetic at Liverpool. He has been around forever, but has not had a proper chance in the first team. More injuries and it may be time to give up, but he deserves a chance.
KEEP
Curtis Jones
This is a harsh verdict for Liverpool’s last local lad, but you can make the case. If Jones wants a bigger, more defined role every week, this might be the point where both sides benefit from a clean break. The interest will be there.
SELL
Dominik Szoboszlai
One of the first names on the teamsheet and one of Liverpool’s standout performers again this season. Four Player of the Month awards says plenty on its own.

KEEP
Alexis Mac Allister
Again, it has certainly been a down year for the World Cup winner. His drop-off is up there with the most severe, but this is a player who can decide games and who is a massive asset when he’s in full swing. This one was close.
KEEP
Florian Wirtz
Completely untouchable. Anyone who says otherwise is dreaming. Wirtz is a player you can build around.
KEEP
Cody Gakpo
Having signed a new contract at the start of the season, Gakpo is going nowhere. He hasn’t been the most popular Liverpool player this term, but don’t expect him to be leaving Slot’s side any time soon.
KEEP
Mohamed Salah
This one is settled already. Liverpool announced that Salah will leave at the end of the season, so all that is left now is the goodbye.

LEAVING
Hugo Ekitike
Like Wirtz, untouchable. Ekitike looks like he still has room to grow, a scary thought.
KEEP
Alexander Isak
Liverpool fans are yet to see the best of the British record signing. He’s going nowhere either.
