Liverpool’s summer transfer window is proving to be one of the busiest and most fascinating in recent years. While much of the attention has focused on exciting new arrivals, there is another side to the club’s rebuild that could be just as important.
Following the departures of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate and former head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool have entered a new era under Andoni Iraola. The club has already strengthened with the arrivals of Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet, but further changes are expected before the transfer window closes.
As Liverpool continue reshaping the squad, several familiar faces could also be heading for the exit door. Some players are searching for more regular football, others are approaching the final years of their contracts, while a few could leave if the right offer arrives. Here are the 12 Liverpool players who could still leave Anfield before the summer transfer window comes to an end.
Curtis Jones Faces an Uncertain Future
Curtis Jones has long been regarded as one of Liverpool’s brightest academy graduates, but his future is no longer guaranteed. With his current contract running until 2027 and little progress reported over a new deal, Liverpool may be willing to listen to offers if their reported valuation of around £35 million is met.
Inter Milan are believed to be leading the race, although their opening proposal reportedly falls well short of Liverpool’s asking price. Unless contract negotiations improve, Jones could become one of the biggest departures of the summer.
Harvey Elliott Could Seek a Fresh Start
Harvey Elliott remains one of the club’s most technically gifted young players, but consistent first-team opportunities have been difficult to secure. After spending last season on loan at Aston Villa, Elliott will reportedly be given an opportunity to impress Andoni Iraola during pre-season.
However, Liverpool are not expected to block a suitable offer if another club presents an attractive proposal. The coming weeks could prove decisive for the talented midfielder.
Wataru Endo Looks Set for a New Challenge
Wataru Endo’s professionalism has never been questioned, but game time has been limited. The experienced midfielder played only 455 minutes last season, making it increasingly likely that he will seek regular football elsewhere. Although his leadership and experience remain valuable, Liverpool’s evolving midfield options suggest that an exit may benefit both player and club.
Federico Chiesa Could Return to Italy
Federico Chiesa arrived with plenty of excitement, but regular opportunities have been difficult to find. Before any final decision is made, the Italian winger is expected to hold important discussions with Andoni Iraola. Even so, reports continue to suggest that a return to Serie A is the most likely outcome. For a player entering an important stage of his career, consistent minutes will almost certainly be the priority.
Joe Gomez Remains a Complicated Situation
Joe Gomez’s future looked uncertain earlier in the summer. However, the departure of Ibrahima Konate has changed Liverpool’s defensive picture considerably. With fewer experienced central defenders available, Gomez has become a far more important member of the squad. Despite entering the final year of his contract, Liverpool may now prefer to keep him unless a substantial offer arrives.
Alexis Mac Allister Still Attracts Interest
Few supporters would expect Alexis Mac Allister to leave this summer. The Argentine remains one of Liverpool’s most influential midfielders and is contracted until 2028. However, reports suggest the absence of active contract discussions has created some uncertainty. Although Liverpool have no financial pressure to sell, a significant offer could test the club’s position. For now, Mac Allister still appears likely to remain an important part of Iraola’s plans.
Cody Gakpo’s Future Cannot Be Completely Ruled Out
Cody Gakpo continues to be an important attacking player, but reports indicate Liverpool would consider offers exceeding £60 million. Selling the Dutch international would require an immediate replacement given Liverpool’s current attacking depth. While a departure is far from certain, his name continues to appear in transfer speculation throughout Europe. Unless a major bid arrives, supporters will hope to see Gakpo remain at Anfield.
Stefan Bajcetic Faces a Big Career Decision
Stefan Bajcetic has experienced frustrating injury setbacks during a period that should have accelerated his development. His long-term hamstring problems have limited valuable first-team opportunities. With his contract expiring in 2027, Liverpool may decide this summer represents the best opportunity to receive a transfer fee. However, his homegrown status and enormous potential could still persuade the club to keep faith in the young midfielder.
Kostas Tsimikas Depends on Liverpool’s Left Back Plans
Kostas Tsimikas has spent several years providing dependable cover at left back. Following Andy Robertson’s departure, his situation has become increasingly interesting. With Milos Kerkez currently the only established senior left back, Liverpool are unlikely to sanction Tsimikas’ departure unless another replacement is secured first. His future may ultimately depend on Liverpool’s remaining transfer business.
Calvin Ramsay Needs a Fresh Opportunity
Calvin Ramsay’s Liverpool career has never truly gathered momentum. Injuries and limited opportunities prevented the Scottish defender from establishing himself under Arne Slot. With Andoni Iraola now in charge, Ramsay may receive another opportunity to impress during pre-season. Nevertheless, a permanent transfer could offer the best chance to restart his career with regular football elsewhere.
Kaide Gordon Appears Ready for the Next Chapter
Kaide Gordon was once considered one of Liverpool’s brightest academy prospects. Unfortunately, serious injuries interrupted his development during crucial years.Having now progressed beyond academy football, a permanent move appears increasingly likely. Championship clubs are believed to be monitoring his situation as he searches for consistent senior opportunities. A fresh environment could help reignite a career that once promised so much.
Luca Stephenson Attracts Growing Interest
Luca Stephenson enjoyed an excellent loan spell with Dundee United, impressing with his versatility and maturity. His performances have attracted attention from several clubs. Bolton Wanderers are currently regarded as the leading candidates to secure his signature in a permanent transfer reportedly worth around £700,000. For Stephenson, regular first-team football may provide the ideal platform to continue his development.
Liverpool’s Squad Rebuild Is Far From Finished
While supporters naturally focus on exciting new arrivals, departures are equally important in shaping Liverpool’s future. Every outgoing transfer creates space for fresh talent, reduces squad congestion and helps the club continue its long-term planning. Andoni Iraola inherited a squad filled with quality, but also one requiring difficult decisions.
Some players need more playing time. Others have valuable transfer value. A few simply find themselves at a crossroads in their Liverpool careers. Balancing those situations will be one of the biggest challenges facing Liverpool’s recruitment team this summer.
A Busy Finish to the Transfer Window Awaits
With several weeks still remaining before the transfer window closes, Liverpool supporters should expect plenty more twists. Some of the players mentioned may ultimately stay and fight for their places. Others could complete permanent moves as the club continues its rebuild. What is already clear is that Liverpool’s summer is about far more than signing new players.
Building a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League and Champions League requires difficult decisions on both arrivals and departures. As Andoni Iraola prepares for his first campaign at Anfield, every transfer will play an important role in shaping the next chapter of Liverpool Football Club. The coming weeks promise to be among the most important of the summer, and fans can expect plenty more transfer drama before the window finally closes.
