Liverpool are expected to shift their focus towards player sales as a big outlay on transfers needs to be balanced with exits in the coming weeks. Everton have emerged as a strong contender to sign a young Reds winger in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Merseyside giants are closing in on a club-record deal to sign Florian Wirtz in the coming days and are also committed to paying £30m for Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool have also been holding talks over a deal to sign Milos Kerkez, who is likely to cost another £45m, and the club are now keen to move on a few players to raise funds.
However, the possibility of a Liverpool academy product joining Everton this summer would spark a huge conversation on Merseyside ahead of the start of the 2025/26 season.

Everton set to snatch winger away from Liverpool this summer
Ben Doak has had a fruitful spell at Middlesbrough this season, but has an uncertain future at Anfield under Arne Slot, who wants heavy investment in the squad.
Liverpool already have Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo for the left flank, and Mo Salah is not showing any signs of slowing down on the right flank.
Liverpool believe it is the right time to sell the Scotsman this summer, and according to the Daily Mail, Everton have continued to show an interest in Doak.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have their eyes on him, but Everton have an edge in the race to sign the Liverpool winger in the upcoming transfer window.
With David Moyes in charge under new owners, Everton are keen to sign Doak ahead of moving to their new stadium ahead of next season.
Liverpool are prepared to sanction his sale if a club are ready to offer a fee in the region of £30m in the upcoming summer transfer window.
It would agitate the Liverpool fans, who admire Doak because of his roots in their academy, and would not be keen for him to join the blue side.
