Liverpool have several decisions to make on the futures of some of their fringe stars, who are attracting serious interest from clubs across Europe. A top Reds star is now closing in on a move to the Championship in a stunning transfer twist this summer.
The Merseyside giants are aware that they need to get rid of several of their fringe stars this summer to have a balanced squad and have more money to spend on incomings.
Arne Slot wants a more driven and quality squad to work with ahead of next season as the Liverpool manager looks to build on the success of winning the Premier League.
The Liverpool squad players are attracting serious interest, and one such star could be dropping down to the Championship to continue his career after his time at Anfield.

Championship clubs are chasing a Reds defender
Nat Phillips spent last season on loan at Derby County and does not have a future at Liverpool under Slot, with the club keen to move him on as part of a permanent deal.
His performances with the Rams have earned praise, and the defender could be moving to the Championship again in the ongoing transfer window.
According to The Athletic, West Brom are interested in getting their hands on the Liverpool defender.
The Baggies want to compete for promotion next season, and Phillips is seen as a player who could bring experience to their squad.
However, West Brom are not the only Championship side chasing him as several other ambitious teams have their eyes on the 28-year-old centre-back.
Liverpool are ready to accept offers for Phillips, who has never been a massive part of the first team at Anfield.
A move to the Championship will be a good career move for him, as he is rated highly in the second tier of English football.
