Jurgen Klopp has assembled one of the strongest squads in Premier League history at Liverpool. The Reds are aiming to win the quadruple this season. They have already won the EFL Cup and are competing with Manchester City for the Premier League title.

Klopp's troops have secured their place in the UEFA Champions League final after beating Villarreal earlier this month. Liverpool are also scheduled to play Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 14.

The Merseyside-based club will look to thrust on from here and add fresh faces to their squad in the summer. They also need to offload some of the fringe players to make space for new faces.

On that note, here's a list of three players who could leave Liverpool as free agents at the end of the season.


#3 Divock Origi

Liverpool signed Divock Origi for £11.37 million from Lille FC after his impressive performances at the FIFA World Cup 2014.

The Belgium international has played 106 league games for the Reds so far, scoring 22 goals in the process. He has scored some important goals since arriving at the club, famously scoring in the semi-finals and the final of the Reds' triumphant UEFA Champions League campaign in 2019.

However, he has struggled for his game time this season, failing to start a single game in the league. His current contract with the club expires at the end of the current season, and the Reds are unlikely to offer him a new deal.

Many clubs have shown interest in signing him in recent weeks, including Seria A team AC Milan, who are, as per Sky Italy, the favorites to sign him.


#2 Loris Karius

The German goalkeeper signed for the Reds from Mainz 05 in the summer transfer window of 2016. He started his career at the club well, playing 29 league games during his first two seasons at Anfield.

However, the 28-year old goalkeeper hasn't represented the club since the 2018 UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid, where his errors cost his team two goals.

The Reds loaned him out to Besiktas and Union Berlin to revive his career but he failed to recover his form. Karius will be out of contract at the end of the season and will have to find a new club to continue his footballing career.


#1 James Milner

The former England international has been one of the most consistent performers for the Reds since arriving for free in 2015.

He has played 197 league games for the club so far, scoring 19 goals in the process. James Milner helped the club win one Premier League trophy, one EFL Cup, and one UEFA Champions League trophy. He was also part of one UEFA Super Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup-winning campaign since joining the club.

The Merseysiders are reportedly in talks with Milner over a new contract as per TalkSport, but the two parties are yet to reach an agreement.
