However, the appointment of Arne Slot<\/a> back in 2024 marked a shift to a way of working long favoured by owners Fenway Sports Group.<\/p>\n And so, despite the Dutchman\u2019s contract being terminated earlier this week and talks being opened with Andoni Iraola<\/a> to replace him, this summer is likely to go largely as previously planned.<\/p>\n Who could leave?<\/p>\n Another summer of major change<\/a> is coming to Anfield, as evidenced by the already-confirmed departures of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate.<\/p>\n Federico Chiesa is set to join them after a largely disappointing spell at the club, while it is thought this could be the year that Joe Gomez finally departs amid links to Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n Curtis Jones is attracting interest from Inter Milan and showed a willingness to make that move in January before Liverpool shut the door.<\/p>\n Fellow midfielder Stefan Bajcetic will either head out on a loan or make a permanent move after an injury-hit few years, and the fact that no contract talks are planned with Alexis Mac Allister proves he is not considered untouchable with teams in Spain thought to be keen.<\/p>\n Who could stay?<\/p>\n Liverpool want continuity in the goalkeeping department, and have informed Juventus-linked Alisson Becker that they would prefer him to stay.<\/p>\n Kostas Tsimikas is also likely to be retained to replace Robertson as back-up left-back following his return from a loan stint at AS Roma.<\/p>\n The Reds are keen to tie Dominik Szoboszlai to a new deal and so will fend off any interest in him that arises, while the remaining core of the squad were only recently signed.<\/p>\n As such, the only Slot-related alteration to their plans that could be possible concerns both Jones and Harvey Elliott<\/a>.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen if a change in the role on offer could convince the former to turn down Inter and pen a fresh contract.<\/p>\n Elliott, meanwhile, will return from a loan at Aston Villa that was not made permanent, desperate to prove that he has an Anfield future under a new manager.<\/p>\n Who could come in?<\/p>\n With Salah gone and Hugo Ekitike sidelined for the foreseeable future due to an Achilles tendon injury, Liverpool are looking to seriously bolster their attack.<\/p>\n RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande is the No 1 winger target, though he is also wanted by European champions Paris Saint-Germain<\/a>, meaning Bradley Barcola could be pursued as an alternative.<\/p>\n Read more<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"LIVERPOOL,](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SEI_299925958.jpg\")
