Liverpool have been one of the most active clubs in the ongoing transfer window, but the club now need player sales. The Merseyside giants are reluctantly set to lose one of their best homegrown talents this summer due to interest from a top European club.
The Merseyside giants are set to fork out a British record fee to sign Florian Wirtz in the ongoing window, and are likely to pay another £45m for Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.
Liverpool have already paid £30m for Jeremie Frimpong this summer, and the club are now set to focus on a few sales to bring funds into their coffers for the rest of the window.
Selling a homegrown talent is sound business in the PSR era, and Liverpool are now set to lose a top young talent in the ongoing summer transfer period.

Liverpool set to lose top young defender in the ongoing transfer window
Jarell Quansah earned a Premier League winners’ medal last season, but was nothing more than a squad option in Arne Slot’s title-winning squad.
Liverpool have been considering loaning him out this summer, but there are now suggestions that a transfer is more likely as the club need to sell to balance their books.
Quansah has several suitors in the Premier League, but according to Fabrizio Romano, he is now attracting serious interest from Bayer Leverkusen.
The German club have held talks with Liverpool for the 22-year-old centre-back in a deal separate from the Florian Wirtz negotiations.
Leverkusen are in the market for a defender as they need a replacement for Jonathan Tah, who will leave the club on a free transfer.
Quansah is admired at the German club, and he is one of the top names on their shortlist of targets.
Liverpool are likely to demand somewhere around £30m before agreeing to sell him.
