Caoimhin Kelleher will leave and he will not want to be third choice when Giorgi Mamardashvili arrives.

Kelleher will have just a year left on his Liverpool contract this summer and Nottingham Forest and Newcastle like the Republic of Ireland No.1.

Joe Gomez was eyed up by Bayern Munich last summer and Liverpool do not want to lose their longest-serving player, who even pre-dates Jurgen Klopp.

Robertson is adamant he does not feel his time at Liverpool is coming to an end, but he has lost a yard of pace and has been exposed in games.

Wataru Endo must also decide his future and it is clear he will only be a bit-part player under Slot, even though he has made more appearances in recent weeks.

The same applies to Harvey Elliott and he does not want to be Liverpool’s supersub when he has his whole career ahead of him.

Liverpool may need a major refit if Salah goes and while Cody Gakpo is secure after having his best season, question marks remain over the Reds’ other forward options.
