7 Liverpool Stars That Could Leave Anfield As Klopp Plots Summer Rebuild After Disastrous 2022/23

• Liverpool are expected to embark on a massive summer clearout at the end of the season
• The Reds have been a shadow of their former selves this season, with the side struggling for form
• Jurgen Klopp's men are currently placed 10th in the Premier League standings with just 29 points
• Klopp is expected to offload a number of players as he begins to rebuild a new team

The 2023 summer transfer window could be marked with a mass exodus at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp plots to rebuild Liverpool.

The Reds have endured an underwhelming season this term, with the side struggling to post positive results.

Liverpool are currently rooted in the middle of the Premier League table after a disastrous run of form, leaving them in danger of missing out on a Champions League spot.

Klopp's men have picked just 29 points from 20 outings, with seven of those matches ending in defeats.

Liverpool's most recent defeat came in the hands of Wolves, who hammered them 3-0 at Molineux last Saturday.

Liverpool's summer clearout

The result no doubt handed the Merseysiders and Klopp a reality check, with the German tactician now billed to conduct a radical surgery on his squad.

The move could see several top players offloaded as Klopp embarks on rebuilding a team that can challenge for trophies.

According to The Mirror, as many as 10 Liverpool stars could be offloaded in a bid to raise funds to boost their summer transfer kitty.

Sports Brief takes a look at eight players who could depart Anfield in the upcoming transfer window:

7. Joel Matip

Matip has enjoyed an incredible career at Anfield since joining Liverpool on a free transfer close to seven years ago.

However, concerns have arisen about the centre-back this season, especially after his below-par performance against Wolves.

Matip has just a year left on his current deal with Liverpool and could be left to depart at a small fee.

6. Nat Phillips

The centre-back came close to leaving Liverpool during the January transfer window.

But an injury to Ibrahima Konate thwarted those arrangements, forcing Philips to extend his stay at Anfield.

Be that as it may, it is unlikely he will be at the club beyond the summer.

5. James Milner

The veteran midfielder's contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of the season.

It is highly unlikely Milner will have his deal renewed, especially considering his advancing age.

This would pave way for his departure.

4. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

The former Arsenal star has been on and off for Liverpool, with a string of injuries taking a huge toll on his Liverpool spell.

With his contract with the Reds set to expire in the summer, the club could be tempted to part ways with him.

3. Naby Keita

Keita's stay at Liverpool has not turned out as many anticipated.

The midfielder has not played a prominent role at the club as it was initially conceived.

Reports claim he is likely to make a return to the Bundesliga at the end of the season.

2. Fabinho

Fabinho has been a shadow of his former self this season.

Despite his influential role in his early days with the club, the midfielder has failed to make a huge impact on the team this term.

So much so that he has already lost his place to teenager Stefan Bajcetic.

1. Roberto Firmino

And finally on the list is Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian striker has been a mainstay figure in Jurgen Klopp's team for a couple of years now.

However, with both Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota injured, he has been unable to fill the void.

Firmino is in the final months of his Liverpool contract, with his deal set to expire at the end of the season.

Klopp snaps at Spanish journalist

Sports Brief earlier reported that Jurgen Klopp lost his cool with a Spanish journalist after the 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League.

Liverpool crumbled despite going two goals ahead in the first 15 minutes, before doubles from the duo of Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr on either side of Eder Militao's goal condemned them to a resounding defeat.

The journalist was asking the German if he would give a new contract to Luka Modric after his performance, and he bluntly responded 'it's not my problem.'
