players Liverpool should sell
Players Liverpool should sell this summer before Slot’s rebuild stalls
Three players Liverpool should sell without delay this summer are Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, and Curtis Jones, and cashing in on them makes perfect sense for Arne Slot. Liverpool enter the 2026/27 season bruised, already losing Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson on free transfers, while sitting outside the top four with the season nearly done. Slot himself publicly confirmed the club must “sell to buy” again, so the arithmetic here demands clear, unsentimental decisions.
Alisson’s time at Anfield has come to a natural end
Alisson arrived from Roma in 2018 for £66.8 million, immediately rewrote goalkeeper standards at Anfield, and won the FIFA Best goalkeeper award in 2019. That story, however, belongs to the past now. At 33, his performances this season have visibly dipped, and Liverpool, who already spent £446 million last summer, need substantial transfer income to fund another rebuild cycle. Selling Alisson now, while serious European clubs still see him as elite, generates meaningful funds and opens the door for a long-term successor. Waiting another year turns a valuable asset into a depreciating one.
Joe Gomez deserves an exit, and Liverpool need to grant it
Slot has consistently overlooked Gomez throughout this campaign, and the 28-year-old’s situation gets harder to watch with every passing month. AC Milan have been tracking Gomez, and their interest could easily materialise into a firm bid once the window opens. Gomez still has genuine quality and, consistent football matters enormously to him. Liverpool gain transfer income, clear a wage from the books, and Gomez gets the fresh start a player of his ability genuinely deserves.

Curtis Jones has peaked as a squad option, and Inter Milan know it
Jones currently sits behind Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, and Gravenberch in Liverpool’s midfield hierarchy, and with all four expected to stay, the academy graduate faces another season of peripheral involvement. Inter Milan reportedly hold genuine interest, and a fee of around £30 million makes strong financial sense.
Liverpool keen on completing £60m winger transfer – Klopp found him ‘unbelievable’
At 25, Jones needs starts, not cameos, and Liverpool need the funds far more than they need a fifth-choice midfielder. Ultimately, these are the three players Liverpool should sell this summer, and cashing in now funds Slot’s vision and stops dead weight holding back a squad with real potential.
