Liverpool transfer list four first-team players: What can they make from their sales?

Liverpool are on the road to recovery and by that I mean they are planning on how to get back to the summit of the Premier League, in search of some more silverware under Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds are looking to offload several first-team players before their new season gets underway. They have a lot of work to do on potential incomings – but there can only be such a thing with sales to raise some funds.

They are in dire need of a new midfielder as they look to replace the gaping hole left by the departed Georginio Wijnaldum. That, and the amount of injury-prone players seldom available for selection have to move on for them to acquire some quality in numbers and in depth.

Liverpool players transfer-listed by Liverpool

1. Divock Origi – Striker – Estimated cost £30m
2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – Midfielder – Estimated cost £35m-£40m
3. Harry Wilson – Midfielder – Estimated cost £20m-£25m
4. Xherdan Shaqiri – Midfielder – Estimated cost £20m (after a good showing at Euro 2020)
5. Nat Phillips – Centre Back – Estimated cost £15m (Not transfer-listed but will listen to offers)
6. Neco Williams – Fullback – Estimated cost £10m-£15m (Not transfer-listed but will listen to offers and depending on his Euro 2020 showing will determine his price tag)

Yes, there are five players listed above, but two of them are sales they are willing to proceed with if the right offer comes in and if it is tempting enough – these two being Neco Williams and Nat Phillips.

Striker Divock Origi and midfielders Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Harry Wilson, have all been put up for purchase. Of the lot, they are all justified barring one – that would be the sale of Phillips.

The towering centre-back was a standout figure, awarding himself a chance to be a backup to those who are returning from injury and regarded as the first-choice centre-backs. However, playing time has now become even more limited for him with the arrival of Ibrahima Konate.

If he is one on the hunt for regular first-team minutes at the highest level, a move abroad is his best option. As of now, Burnley has been the strongest link to Nat but several other clubs are enquiring about his services.

Another one that is also a bit unfair but understandable is Harry Wilson and his potential exit. He hasn’t really been given the chance to break into the first team and has been waiting long for his shot, seeing that he has been at the club since under 9.

Difficultly, coming in behind the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota – you are bound to look elsewhere for consistent game time.

How much can Liverpool raise from these summer sales?

Taking the lowest estimated fee and adding them all together, £130 million – that is a decent amount of cash accumulated by the club for pretty damn good singings – two potential world-class signings.

With Euro 2020 bound to increase the value of most of the top targets at the tournament, it will be hard to buy players, any of them, below market value or the current owners asking price.

If the club wants to repair their relationship with the fans, the players and Jurgen Klopp, they must act well in the market and get somebody that will change the game for them over at Anfield.

The European Super League debacle is still fresh in the minds of all but it is nothing a little good summer business can solve for one and all. It will not mend the wound but it is a good start to getting it stitched back together.

On the Reds’ radar: Raphinha from Leeds Untied is a name that has stayed close to Liverpool. Abdul Fatawu, who club insider James Pearce believes we haven’t signed, despite multiple reports all over. Another player always named as a target, Brighton’s Yves Bissouma.
