Liverpool are already looking like they will have their biggest summer transfer window in their history in terms of the quality and price of the players they are set to sign. However, sales are going to become even more vital, and one player could cross the Merseyside divide to join Everton.
Sporting director Richard Hughes is making progress on a deal to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen after gaining the final approval of the player for the transfer.
This move will end up shattering multiple transfer records, but it is becoming increasingly clear that Liverpool will now need to sell well to ensure they adhere to their self-sustainable model.
As many as ten players are expected to leave the club this summer, and one such star could end up joining Liverpool’s local rivals, Everton, in the upcoming transfer window.

Everton set for a surprise deal to sign Liverpool star
Ben Doak has had a fruitful loan spell at Middlesbrough this season, but a decision is incoming on his future at Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool are unlikely to decide until Arne Slot sees him in pre-season, but there is an increasing likelihood that the club will cash in on him.
Several Premier League clubs are interested in Doak, but according to journalist Ben Jacobs, Everton are pushing hard to sign the winger in the upcoming transfer window.
David Moyes wants Everton to push forward at their new stadium next season, and the owners want to invest in young talent in the upcoming transfer window.
Doak has been identified as a top target, and Everton believe they can convince him to become the first Liverpool player to join the Toffees in more than two decades.
Liverpool are open to letting him go for a fee in the region of £30m this summer.
