Liverpool are set for their biggest squad overhaul in years this summer, with a number of players expected to leave.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is closing in on a move to Real Madrid with Luis Diaz subject to interest from Saudi Arabia, with Arne Slot likely to sanction a number of departures in the transfer window to refresh his side.
One likely destination for some Liverpool players is Turkey, with clubs such as Galatasaray and Fenerbahce showing in recent years that they’re ready to pay a pretty penny for big-name players in the market.
And Jose Mourinho is reportedly eyeing one Liverpool player as a potential signing this summer.

According to A Spor, Fenerbahce are keeping tabs on Federico Chiesa, with the Liverpool winger a target for Mourinho’s side amid an uncertain future at Anfield for the Italian international heading into the summer.
Chiesa’s place at Liverpool next season is up in the air with the former Juventus attacker hardly featuring for Slot’s side this year due to injury and a lack of match fitness, with rumours suggesting that the winger could be on the move already.
AS Roma have been linked with Chiesa as teams from Italy begin to line up for the 27-year-old’s signature, with Fenerbahce now one of the clubs interested in signing the Liverpool winger in the window.

Yet with Diogo Jota lauding Chiesa as a ‘dangerous’ attacker for Liverpool, there could be a future for the attacker on Merseyside next season, especially if the Reds decide to offload a forward or two before turning their attention to the Italian.
Chiesa’s first season has been an underwhelming one, with the winger still dealing with seasons’ worth of injury problems picked up during his time with Juventus and the Italian national team over the years.
And although the attacker’s performances have been disappointing for Liverpool, Chiesa more than deserves another season at Anfield to show what he’s capable of, with a full summer off and a pre-season with the Reds exactly what the former Juventus star needs to get back to his best.
Indeed, cashing in on Chiesa might be an appealing option for some Liverpool fans, but with forwards expected to leave and the 27-year-old showing signs of promise when fully fit, the attacker should have one more season before a decision on his future is made.
