Many players have stepped up their performances since Slot took over from the iconic Jurgen Klopp at the start of the season, cementing Liverpool’s reputation as one of Europe’s top teams.
Despite this, reports suggest that the Dutch manager has already identified five players he is open to selling in order to remain active in the upcoming transfer window.
As the June window approaches, much of the discussion about Liverpool’s future will center on the expiring contracts of star players Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk.
However, Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Slot is planning to reshape the squad with several exciting new signings expected.
To make room for these changes, the manager has reportedly approved the potential departures of Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, and Diogo Jota.
Rumors of Kelleher’s exit have been circulating since the start of the season, as the Irish goalkeeper has expressed a desire for regular first-team action and is open to joining another club for the opportunity.
With Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili set to join Liverpool in the summer, having been signed last year, it seems Kelleher is not part of Slot’s long-term plans.
The 26-year-old has reportedly attracted interest from multiple clubs, including Premier League side Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Chiesa, who joined Liverpool only last summer, has struggled to secure consistent playing time. This has fueled speculation that the Italian winger may be open to leaving the club during the next transfer window.
The inclusion of other names like Endo on the rumored departure list has taken many fans by surprise, particularly as the midfielder has shown his value in closing out matches in recent weeks.
Nevertheless, Slot’s decisions suggest a bold vision for Liverpool’s future.
