Liverpool Departures: Five Stars Who Could Leave This Summer<\/span><\/h2>\n

Liverpool Departures: Caoimhin Kelleher – Most Likely Liverpool Player to Leave<\/span><\/h3>\n

Caoimhin Kelleher has finally had his breakthrough season at Liverpool, playing 26 matches and impressing in vital fixtures, most notably in the EFL Cup Final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning 26 years old this year, Kelleher may be looking for a new challenge. Despite a strong season, the Irishman was unsurprisingly displaced by Alisson Becker returning from injury. He will always be a backup at Anfield; leaving Merseyside may be necessary for Kelleher to progress his career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plenty of Premier League outfits will <\/span>be monitoring<\/span> his situation, with teams like Bournemouth looking for a new goalkeeper. However, the player <\/span>himself<\/span> may be content at a club where he has won seven trophies – only failing to conquer the Europa League.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you recall, Mohamed Salah <\/span>was linked<\/span> to leaving the club last summer. Al Ittihad had a\u00a0<\/span>\u00a3150 million bid<\/span><\/a>\u00a0rejected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salah, like a couple of others in this piece, will be out of contract in a year. If Liverpool are offered upwards of \u00a3100 million by a Saudi club, they may take a big payday instead of losing the Egyptian on a free in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

By anybody <\/span>else’s<\/span> standards, 18 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League was a strong campaign. But this was <\/span>Salah’s<\/span>lowest-scoring season in the league for Liverpool, and he went through a spell of anonymous performances. <\/span>This<\/span> was the third time he has lost a title race to Pep Guardiola; Salah may <\/span>just<\/span> call it a day in England.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kostas Tsimikas<\/span><\/h3>\n

Kostas Tsimikas signed in 2020 as a backup to Andy Robertson but has struggled for minutes in the past four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

This season was an example of that when Robertson was out or being rested, Joe Gomez was most often his replacement. The makeshift left-back had one of his best seasons playing there, resulting in an England call-up for the provisional Euros squad and likely a place on the plane to Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

At 28 years old, the Greek international holds very little value to\u00a0<\/span>new manager<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Arne Slot and would likely not feature much next season. It would make sense for Tsimikas to become one of the Liverpool players to leave shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virgil van Dijk<\/span><\/h3>\n

The <\/span>Reds’<\/span> club captain will also see his deal expire in 2025 and has\u00a0<\/span>revealed<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that a new contract has not been drawn up yet due to the hierarchy focusing on <\/span>Klopp’s<\/span> replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Dijk turns 33 next month; at this point in his career, will he be keen on working through another transitional period in a new project?<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s<\/span> unlikely but possible if the Dutchman does fancy a final big payday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold – Long-Term Most Likely Liverpool Star to Leave<\/span><\/h3>\n

The third player on this list with a year left on his contract is Trent Alexander-Arnold, and he is the only one with interest from big European competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano\u00a0<\/span>revealed<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that<\/span> “<\/span>Real Madrid are monitoring <\/span>Alexander-Arnold’s<\/span> contract situation at Liverpool<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Los Blancos<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/em>are building a super-team, with stars like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Jude Bellingham already at the club, and Kylian Mbappe\u00a0<\/span>set to join.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0This would surely be an attractive prospect to tempt Alexander-Arnold.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may be more likely for the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>“<\/span>superstar<\/span>“<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>to leave in 2025; either way, it must be worrying to fans that he and other Liverpool players may <\/span>leave<\/span> on free transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
