Liverpool could see a raft of names leave the club this summer, with an overhaul of personnel possible in both the first team and the academy, including some big names.
It remains to be seen where the Reds will be playing their continental football next season, and their final finish in the Premier League could play a big factor in recruitment.
Miss out on the Champions League, and Liverpool could risk missing out on their top targets; miss out on the Europa League, and the situation could be even worse.
Despite that and obvious financial issues in the pandemic, Jurgen Klopp will be eager to bolster his squad with a view to challenging again in 2021/22, and it is likely that will require sales to add to his funds.
