The Merseyside giants have shown ambition and intent this summer to improve the title-winning squad. However, Liverpool also need player sales to balance their books, and the club have taken a big decision to offload a veteran fan-favourite in the ongoing transfer window.
Liverpool are set to spend big on quality players this summer, and their headline-grabbing pursuit of Florian Wirtz is the sign of their ambition after winning the Premier League last season.
However, a big outlay on transfers will also mean that the club will need to raise funds through player sales, and they are under increased pressure to move on a few fringe stars.
The Liverpool recruitment team have now made a difficult but firm decision to move on a veteran star in the ongoing transfer window to clear out space in the squad.

Liverpool set to axe veteran star in this transfer window
Joe Gomez is the only remaining player from the squad that Jurgen Klopp inherited from Brendan Rodgers, and has been at the club for over a decade.
However, his injuries mean that he is no longer a key player in the squad, and according to the Empire of the Kop, Liverpool are prepared to sell him this summer.
Liverpool are in the market for centre-backs, and the Reds have already signed a right-back in Jeremie Frimpong this summer.
There is no space in the squad for Gomez going forward, and the club are keen to move him on in the ongoing transfer window.
As many as eight clubs are interested in the 28-year-old veteran, and Liverpool are pushing to bank somewhere around £25m from his sale this summer.
Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Bournemouth, Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland are among the clubs interested in Gomez.
