In a twist few saw coming, Liverpool are preparing to offload a £36m superstar as part of their summer rebuild. With manager Arne Slot keen to reshape the squad in his vision, the decision has sent shockwaves through the fanbase and raised eyebrows across the Premier League.
Liverpool have made some stunning moves this summer, and Florian Wirtz’s imminent arrival is a sign of the ambition and intent shown by the club in the ongoing transfer window.
However, the Merseyside giants are keen to sell a few players, and they have already identified a few fringe stars they are keen to move on this summer.
But an unexpected sale could also occur as Liverpool are now really weighing up the prospect of cashing in on a first-team starter from last season in the ongoing transfer window.

Liverpool are ready to offload a top star this summer
Ibrahima Konate has a year left on his contract, and the Frenchman is yet to agree to sign a new deal with the club despite months of negotiations.
The defender has confirmed that he will be returning to the club ahead of next season, but has said little to confirm that he will sign a new deal.
Real Madrid are actively encouraging him to run down his contract and move to the Spanish capital on a free transfer at the end of next season.
According to Defensa Central, some in the Liverpool hierarchy are now considering cashing in on Konate in the ongoing transfer window.
Some are resigned to the prospect of seeing Konate joining Real Madrid on a free transfer, and want to act this summer.
The Reds are ready to sell the Frenchman if they receive an offer between £42m and £51m in the ongoing transfer window.
