Liverpool\u2019s transfer business over the years has been the envy of clubs across Europe and their slick operation has allowed them to spend big this summer.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Only <a title=\"Chelsea FC\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/chelsea-fc\/startseite\/verein\/631\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Chelsea<\/a>\u00a0(\u20ac244 million) have spent more than Liverpool (\u20ac214m) and Slot\u2019s men will leapfrog their <a title=\"Premier League\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/premier-league\/startseite\/wettbewerb\/GB1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Premier League<\/a>\u00a0rivals, if they can secure a deal for <a title=\"Hugo Ekitik\u00e9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/hugo-ekitik-\/profil\/spieler\/709726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Hugo Ekitik\u00e9<\/a>. <a title=\"Eintracht Frankfurt\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/eintracht-frankfurt\/startseite\/verein\/24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Eintracht Frankfurt<\/a>\u00a0have rejected an opening bid for the French U21 international but it\u2019s expected that an agreement will be reached in the coming days. Etitike\u2019s current market value is \u20ac75m deal but it\u2019s understood that Frankfurt\u2019s valuation is in excess of that valuation and his signature could take Liverpool\u2019s spending this summer beyond \u20ac300m. While the focus has been on new arrivals at Anfield, we\u2019ve analysed five high-profile players that could depart to allow Liverpool to balance their books.<\/p>\n<p>\nFive players Liverpool could sell this summer<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Konstantinos Tsimikas\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/konstantinos-tsimikas\/profil\/spieler\/338070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Konstantinos Tsimikas<\/a>\u00a0appears destined to depart this summer after Liverpool\u2019s acquisition of Milos Kerez from Bournemouth for \u20ac47 million. Given the outlay, Kerkez is expected to be first-choice left-back next season with <a title=\"Andrew Robertson\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/andrew-robertson\/profil\/spieler\/234803\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Andy Robertson<\/a>\u00a0providing competition. Robertson has been an outstanding servant to Liverpool but his performances dropped off considerably last season but he\u2019s expected to remain at the club. Despite stating his desire to stay, Tsimikas realistically has no future at Anfield and he has interest from other Premier League clubs with Nottingham Forest, Wolves and Leeds United previously linked.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool have strengthened their full-back options during the window but they\u2019ve got major decisions to make at centre-back. They only have three senior centre-backs on their books and they will face a dilemma over Ibrahima Konate. The French international only has one year left on his contract and he\u2019s been strongly linked to Real Madrid and PSG. Liverpool could decide to cash in on Konate this summer to avoid losing him on a free but they\u2019ll hope to convince him to extend his stay as he remains a top-class defender. Liverpool realistically need to add at least one new centre-back this summer but they could decide to cash in on <a title=\"Joe Gomez\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/joe-gomez\/profil\/spieler\/256178\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Joe Gomez<\/a>. The England international was on the verge of joining Newcastle United last summer and he could earn Liverpool a sizable fee with his market value at \u20ac20m.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/liverpool-sales-1752762178-172633.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Luis D\u00edaz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/luis-d-az\/profil\/spieler\/480692\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Luis D\u00edaz<\/a>\u00a0played a significant role as Liverpool won their 20th league title with 20 goal contributions in 36 games but his future remains uncertain. The Colombian international has been constantly linked with Barcelona across the last 18 months but Bayern Munich want to sign him. The Bundesliga giants have already had a \u20ac68m bid rejected but they are expected to return with an improved offer and it\u2019s understood that Diaz is open to moving to Germany. It would represent excellent business for Liverpool as they will net a profit on the \u20ac54m they paid Porto for Diaz in 2022 and the winger will turn 29 next season.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/darwin-n--ez\/profil\/spieler\/546543\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez<\/a>\u00a0is a popular figure at Anfield but Liverpool will net a considerable fee, if they cash in on the striker. Saudi Pro League clubs wanted to sign Nunez in January but he decided to remain in England but opportunities to head to the Middle East remain. Liverpool\u2019s pursuit of Etitike and reported interest indicated that Nunez will probably depart this summer and Liverpool will be targeting a fee in excess of his \u20ac45m valuation. The 26-year-old has received criticism during his time in England but his skillset.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Harvey Elliott\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/harvey-elliott\/profil\/spieler\/565822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Harvey Elliott<\/a>\u00a0inspired England to glory in the U21 European Championships and he was the best player at the tournament. Liverpool will be in no rush to sell Elliott given his versatility and talent but he deserves more first-team opportunities. The 22-year-old only played 822 minutes in all competitions last season and he was limited to just 360 minutes in the Premier League. Elliott reportedly wants to play regularly next season and he won\u2019t be short of suitors. Liverpool have reportedly set an asking price of \u20ac46.5m if a buy-back option is included and \u20ac58m without &#8211; we\u2019ve analysed five potential destinations for the talented Englishman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u20ac183m in total\u00a0 \u00a9TM\/IMAGO Liverpool\u00a0have been incredibly active in the transfer window this summer, completing three major deals&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":72297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[33308,219,6075,4427,50543,2366,50546,2375,50545,50544,1836,24990,220,221,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-72296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-andrew-robertson","9":"tag-bundesliga","10":"tag-chelsea-fc","11":"tag-darwin-nunez","12":"tag-eintracht-frankfurt","13":"tag-florian-wirtz","14":"tag-harvey-elliott","15":"tag-hugo-ekitike","16":"tag-joe-gomez","17":"tag-konstantinos-tsimikas","18":"tag-liverpool-fc","19":"tag-luis-diaz","20":"tag-premier-league","21":"tag-soccer","22":"tag-sports","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114873575848549902","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
