5 players Liverpool should sell this summer

#1 Dejan Lovren

Lovren could be set to leave on a high this summer

This is somewhat controversial but given the circumstances, it really shouldn't be. If we're being brutally honest, Lovren just isn't that good and with two years left on his existing deal, it makes sense for both the club and player to part ways this summer.

After all, he turns 30 next month and again, would present an intriguing option for interested suitors - AC Milan most recently linked - as someone with international pedigree and experience to his name.

With 53 caps and counting for World Cup finalists Croatia, he has endured spells of inconsistency since his own move from Southampton - whether that be through individual mistakes or generally just poor defensive form. The real reason he played as regularly as he did last season was through injuries, before he himself was overworked by their demanding winter schedule.

Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are both 27, while Joe Gomez turned 22 last month. Lovren is their oldest centre-back and weakest link, so it makes sense to sell and get an upgrade or integrate from within to oversee another first-team breakthrough. Ki-Jana Hoever, who came on for an injured Lovren to make his senior debut against Wolves in the FA Cup, is a prime example.
