Key players Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all set to become free agents, with no substantial progress in contract talks regarding their futures at Anfield.
Alongside these stars, another attacker is expected to depart and could be the first to be offloaded during the summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, Darwin Nunez is likely to be the first player in line to leave the club.
The Uruguayan forward has struggled to secure his place in the squad this season, spending much of his time on the bench.
Nunez, who has garnered interest from the Saudi Pro League, is reportedly keen on moving away from Liverpool.
Signed for a hefty fee under former manager Jurgen Klopp, Nunez has failed to deliver the expected performances.
In 40 appearances this season, the ex-Benfica player has scored just seven goals—a disappointing tally for a striker representing a team vying for top honors.
Additionally, he has become known for missing straightforward chances in front of goal.
While the Reds resisted selling Nunez during the January transfer window to maintain squad depth, the situation has now shifted.
With their Premier League title within reach, Liverpool has begun planning for the summer transfer market. Nunez is likely to be the first casualty as the club reshapes its roster.
Reports suggest Saudi clubs could offer up to £100 million for the forward, signaling an opportunity for Liverpool to cash in on the struggling attacker.
