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.

Jack Bearne scores winner as U23s beat Burnley in friendly
Steve Hunter Liverpool U23s returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Burnley in a friendly encounter at the Academy on Friday afternoon.
Jack Bearne netted the only goal of the game inside the opening 10 minutes after fine approach play from Ben Woodburn. Burnley gave us a tough game, to be fair to them, and it was a great test for the boys, U23s boss Barry Lewtas told Liverpoolfc.com. They were tough and direct but we did well, and the boys knew we had been in a game when they came off the field.
