Summer transfer window 2026: Which players could leave Liverpool?
Liverpool are poised to undergo a major clearout following a disappointing 2025/26 season in which they failed to defend their Premier League crown.
Several players will be leaving as the club looks to refresh their squad. Read on as we analyse potential Liverpool exits on the cards this summer.

Joe Gomez
Joe Gomez has struggled for opportunities under manager Arne Slot.
The Dutchman clearly doesn't rate the 28-year-old as highly as his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp.
Gomez will likely leave in search of playing time as he bids to re-establish himself after several injury setbacks.
The English defender once looked like he could be a mainstay in the national team, and consistent playing time can earn him a call-up.
AC Milan have been sniffing around and could turn their rumoured interest into something concrete when the opportunity arises.
Federico Chiesa
Federico Chiesa is most likely returning to Italy after an uninspiring spell in England .

The Italian international is just not good enough and doesn't move the needle. The Reds will hope to receive a decent fee from one of the bigger Italian sides.
Liverpool have Rio Ngumoha waiting in the wings to usurp his place. The fans love Chiesa, but his lack of impact means he is surplus to requirements.
Wataru Endo
Wataru Endo has been reliable when called upon, but he could jump ship this summer.
He will be eager for playing time, which he is not getting under Slot.
A move seems inevitable at this point. It will allow Liverpool to bring in a natural holding midfielder.
Konstantinos Tsimikas
Konstantinos Tsimikas could also be heading for the exit door this summer. He was loaned to AS Roma after falling further down the pecking order.

However, he has struggled to make a meaningful impact in Serie A, and Roma are reportedly not keen on making the move permanent.
Even with Andy Robertson expected to leave when his contract expires, Tsimikas may still be viewed as surplus to requirements.
Stefan Bajcetic
Stefan Bajcetic returned to Liverpool last summer but has endured a frustrating campaign, plagued by injury setbacks.
The Spanish midfielder was once regarded as one of the club's brightest young prospects.
Unfortunately, he has struggled to build on that early promise.
The 21-year-old still has time on his side, but Liverpool may decide that a permanent move elsewhere is the best way for him to rediscover his momentum.

A fresh environment could be exactly what he needs.
Calvin Ramsay
Calvin Ramsay is another player whose Liverpool career appears to be nearing its end.
He joined the club more than three years ago but has yet to make a single appearance in the Premier League.
Ramsay has barely been allowed to prove himself, but that may not matter at this stage. A permanent move away from Anfield now looks increasingly likely.
Harvey Elliott
Harvey Elliott is at a crossroads.
The Liverpool midfielder has endured a difficult loan spell at Aston Villa , where he has struggled for opportunities under manager Unai Emery.
Elliott joined Villa, hoping to reignite his career, but complications surrounding a clause in his loan deal have limited his involvement.

He could return to Anfield this summer only to be placed on the transfer market, with Liverpool potentially looking to cash in.
Ibrahima Konate
Ibrahima Konate continues to signal that he wants to remain at the club but has refused to commit despite the hierarchy putting multiple deals on the table.
Liverpool fans will have to come to terms with the fact that the affable Frenchman could leave this summer.
The 26-year-old is a target for Paris Saint-Germain , Real Madrid and Bayern Munich .
They are all eyeing a free transfer swoop, while Liverpool are left to scour the market for a worthy replacement.

Andy Robertson
Robertson is another massive name set to join the exodus. The left-back has been a great servant, but he is no longer at the peak of his powers.
Robertson has fallen down the pecking order and will likely head elsewhere in search of first-team starts.
He was linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur , but Atletico Madrid have also been monitoring the situation.
Liverpool have already signed Milos Kerkez to replace Robertson. The club might enter the market for a reliable deputy for the Hungarian.
Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah could leave the club despite signing a multi-year deal around a year ago.

The 33-year-old has struggled to live up to his reputation this season. He has bagged only five goals and six assists in 21 league appearances.
The regression has been staggering. Salah has hindered Liverpool's attacks this season. He could decide to leave for a new adventure.
Middle Eastern clubs, particularly from the Saudi Pro League, continue to monitor his situation.
Replacing his output and impact will be a nightmare. The market is not littered with players capable of delivering over 370 goal contributions in 432 appearances.
