It would be a disappointment to see him net his first senior goal for another club.Virgil van Dijk - KEEPLiverpool's skipper may have shown signs of decline this season, yet he remains an indispensable piece of the puzzle both on and off the pitch. He can be the player to compete with Jacquet for a first-team place next campaign.Andy Robertson - RELEASEThe Scotland international has become a cult hero on Merseyside throughout his spell, but his contract expires this summer.
He remains under contract until 2027 so the club should seek to sell for a transfer fee this summer.Wataru Endo - SELLEndo is also contracted until next year, so Liverpool should not allow him to leave for nothing and attempt to sell him when the window opens.Florian Wirtz - KEEPThe German found it difficult during his initial appearances as a Liverpool player but has subsequently found his stride. 6.Trey Nyoni - KEEPNyoni has demonstrated tremendous promise during his appearances for Liverpool and, whilst a loan move is an option, remaining at the club could prove more beneficial to his development.Harvey Elliott (On loan) - SELLThe young Englishman's loan spell at Aston Villa has been disappointing, and the club may be able to secure a reasonable fee for him in the summer window.Alexander Isak - KEEPThe Swedish striker has been sidelined since picking up an injury during a victory against Tottenham earlier this season.
He remains the most expensive British signing in history.Mohamed Salah - RELEASEThe legendary Egyptian has announced he will leave Liverpool this summer.Federico Chiesa - KEEPChiesa hasn't broken into Slot's starting XI yet and may never do so, but is still 28 and is a solid option off the bench.Cody Gakpo - SELLWhilst it may appear unlikely to sell Gakpo, he is amongst the club's top earners but doesn't perform as though he is the long-term answer on the left flank. The youngster looks as though he has a promising future at Anfield and can be the Salah replacement the club will shortly require.Next season's XIIf Liverpool do not secure qualification for next season's Champions League, then they can forget the prospect of significant summer investment.
