Fabrizio Romano has given his signature \u2018here we go\u2019 confirmation to the latest in a long line of Liverpool departures this summer.<\/p>\n
Much has been made of Liverpool\u2019s lavish spending this summer, but in truth, the Reds have let more players go than have arrived.<\/p>\n
Big fees were collected from the sales of Jarell Quansah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez. Caoimhin Kelleher, Nat Phillips, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Tyler Morton and Ben Doak have also been sold.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Kostas Tsimikas has the green light to leave and Harvey Elliott has reportedly agreed personal terms with RB Leipzig<\/a>. Elliott would be the replacement for Xavi Simons who is heading to Chelsea.<\/p>\n Many of Liverpool\u2019s exits have come from the attacking ranks and according to Fabrizio Romano, another forward-thinking player is about to leave.<\/p>\n Taking to X<\/a>, Romano revealed 19-year-old winger, Lewis Koumas, will join Championship side\u00a0Birmingham City<\/a> on a season-long loan.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool talent Lewis Koumas has decided to join Birmingham City on season long loan,\u201d wrote Romano.<\/p>\n \u201cAgreement reached now and medical to follow next, 19 year old winger will play for #BCFC. Here we go.\u201d<\/p>\n Koumas signed a long-term contract with Liverpool<\/a> last summer prior to joining Stoke City on loan for the 2024\/25 campaign.<\/p>\n In all likelihood, Koumas\u2019 career at Anfield will follow the same path as Doak\u2019s, with the latter eventually sold (Bournemouth \u2013 \u00a325m) for substantial and pure profit as a homegrown player after a series of loan spells away.<\/p>\n What about Guehi and Isak?<\/strong><\/p>\n Liverpool are not finished from an arrivals perspective and still intend to wrap up deals for Marc Guehi and Alexander Isak.<\/p>\n Regarding Guehi, personal terms are agreed. The Reds continue to hold discussions with Crystal Palace regarding the transfer fee and deal structure.<\/p>\n Guehi is in the final year of his contract and speaking on Thursday night, Palace chairman, Steve Parish, hinted the club will sell their star centre-back.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Marc Guehi wants to sign a contract, he can stay,\u201d began Parish. \u201cIt\u2019s a difficult situation, everyone has to sell players to comply with the rules. That\u2019s a situation that we will have to look at in the next days.\u201d<\/p>\n Palace value Guehi at \u00a345m but Liverpool believe that figure represents an overpayment given the 25-year-old will be available for nothing next summer.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, TEAMtalk has been informed Liverpool are ready to test Newcastle\u2019s resolve with a new and improved bid for Isak.<\/p>\n
