Liverpool has had a very busy summer transfer window. Quality new additions have been made to the squad this year. Apart from West Ham United, no other Premier League team has been as active as Liverpool in the transfer market this year.
After quite some time, it's Liverpool who's making the headlines with big-money signings. Over the last decade or so, much of the transfer headlines have been shared by both the Manchester clubs. Chelsea too has grabbed their share of attention sometimes.
So far, this summer has been all about Liverpool. The signing of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig started everything off. Then, out of nowhere, the club announces the signing of Fabinho from Monaco. Two absolutely brilliant signings.
Liverpool then did some smart business by signing Xherdan Shaqiri for just £13 million. After which, Liverpool broke the bank by signing Allison Becker from Roma for £57 million - making him the world's most expensive goalkeeper.
Maintaining a football squad is a balancing act. To make room for new players, the clubs have to let go of some of their old players. While some of the players are sold, there are others who are just loaned out for the season.
So far, Liverpool has sold one player and loaned out four others to make room for their new players. As an immediate reaction to Allison's move to Liverpool, Danny Ward was sold to Leicester City for £12.60 million. Much before this move, Adam Bogdan, Liverpool's third-choice goalkeeper last year moved to Scottish side Hibernian FC on a season-long loan deal.
Three Liverpool youngsters - Harry Wilson, Ovie Ejaria, and Ryan Kent - who have great potential have been sent out on loan to ensure that their development doesn't stop.
Harry Wilson will be playing for Frank Lampard's Derby County next season. While both, Ovie Ejaria and Ryan Kent, will be playing under the tutelage of Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard, at Rangers.
There may not be another in-coming, but there are surely going to be a few more out-goings from the club. 5 players who could be seen in another team's jersey next season are:
1.Georginio Wijnaldum
Wijnaldum has had a somewhat mixed career at Liverpool. His performances for the club have been average, to say the least.
When he joined Liverpool from Newcastle United, he came in and promised fans "10 goals and 10 assists" in a season. However, to his disappointment, he was unable to bring that same form to Anfield. Yet, that's not to say that he's been a bad signing.
In his time at Liverpool, he played a crucial role filling in the all-important midfield positions in Klopp's 4-3-3 formation.
Every time he stepped onto the field wearing the Liverpool jersey, he left his heart out there. With Klopp signing Fabinho and Keita to sure up the midfield, Wijnaldum's first-team opportunities could be few and far between this season.
He's been strongly linked with a move to the Turkish Premier League, with Fenerbache being keen suitors in taking him there. There are reports that suggest that Newcastle United are also interested in re-signing him.
2. Danny Ings
Danny Ings is an extremely unlucky footballer. Injuries and injuries - that sums up his career. He moved to Liverpool from Burnley in 2016 for less than £10 million. However, in his very first training session, he suffered an ACL injury.
He returned to competitive football a year later, only to damage his right knee ligament this time. In truth, that injury marked the end of his Liverpool career. After Klopp left Ings from the squad that's traveling to the USA to play the International Champions Cup, it was clear that his future laid away from Liverpool.
Ings will be leaving this summer looking for regular first-team football. He's likely to attract a lot of interest from other European and Premier clubs. A number of top German clubs like RB Leipzig, Schalke, and Bayer Leverkusen are also interested in signing him.
3. Simon Mignolet
After making a great start to his Liverpool career, Mignolet just fizzled out. In order to give him competition, Klopp went on to sign Karius from Mainz for just £4.75 million.
Even after Karius's arrival, Mignolet held on to his place as the first-choice goalkeeper for Liverpool. However, the rotation between the goalkeepers wasn't really working and when Klopp had to make a decision, he went to the German's aid.
Mignolet has made it quite clear that he is looking to leave the club. Barcelona is one of the surprise suitors looking to offer Mignolet an escape route from Liverpool.
They are looking for a replacement for Jasper Cillessen, as his departure from the club looks more and more imminent, and Mignolet perfectly fits the bill. According to Mignolet's agent, a decision regarding his future is going to be made in the next few days.
4. Loris Karius
As it turns out, Karius is extremely disappointed with the signing of Allison Becker.
According to the papers, Karius is disappointed with Klopp's lack of trust in him. Allison Becker's arrival almost cements Karius's place on the bench.
His interview after the Dortmund game has got people talking about his immediate future.
“Of course that's not perfect for me, but I cannot say much more about that either. I do not know that, I cannot say what I'm doing right now, there's still some time left [in the transfer window].”
Allison's arrival has stirred up the goalkeeping situation at Liverpool. From the look of things, at least one of the second-choice goalkeepers is leaving the club. Things will get interesting if both, Karius and Mignolet, choose to leave the club this summer.
5. Lazar Markovic
Lazar Markovic has had a dismal spell at Liverpool. When Liverpool signed him from Benfica in 2014, a lot was expected from him. Their confidence in him can be seen in the £20 million that was spent on bringing him to Anfield.
To be honest, he just didn't click in the Premier League. After failing to impress at Liverpool, he's been subject to Liverpool's extensive loaning system ever since.
Klopp's decision to include him in the squad that's touring the USA means one of two things. One; it's Klopp's way of saying that "this is your last chance, grab it." Another reason why Klopp may have included him in the squad is to attract bids from potential suitors.
According to reports, Liverpool is willing to sustain a loss on Markovic and are willing to sell him for less than the £20 million that they paid to get him to Anfield.
