Liverpool will soon need to focus on sales to not only balance their books but also their squad as they seek to bring in more reinforcements. A top Red could be on his way out of the club after a massive European club make a key transfer call this summer.
The Merseyside giants have grabbed headlines with their pursuit of Florian Wirtz, who is expected to undergo a medical this week if an agreement is reached between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen.
Wirtz is expected to cost a club-record fee, and Liverpool have other business to sort out to bring in players for other priority positions as well.
The Reds will now start to need to move on a few players, and are set to face a tough decision on one of last season’s top performers due to interest from one of the giants of European football.

Luis Diaz has emerged as a transfer headache for Liverpool due to his openly revealing that he is in talks with other clubs this summer.
The Reds have already rejected an approach from Barcelona, and in public, the club are insisting that he is not for sale in the ongoing transfer window.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are prepared to go all-in for the Colombian winger this summer over other options.
Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams is also on their radar, but the Catalan giants are prioritising a move for Diaz over other targets in the ongoing transfer window.
Barcelona are aware that Diaz wants the move and are banking on the player to create enough pressure on Liverpool to let him join the Catalan giants.
Liverpool would prefer to sell him to clubs in Saudi Arabia, who are likely to be more willing to match their £70m asking price for the winger.
