Liverpool are set for their biggest summer in some years, with a number of deals both in and out of Anfield expected to be made.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to join Real Madrid whilst Los Blancos are now eyeing Alexis Mac Allister, with Kostas Tsimikas also being eyed by a number of Premier League clubs as Liverpool look to overhaul virtually every position in the squad.
With Jamie Carragher predicting Liverpool to make six signings in the summer, the squad will have a completely new look heading into next season as Arne Slot looks to make the changes needed so the Reds can go again for the Premier League title.
And former Liverpool star Danny Murphy has now named two more players who could end up leaving the red half of Merseyside in the summer.

Speaking on TalkSport, the pundit suggested that there is ‘talk’ that Liverpool want to sell Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota this summer, who both could end up leaving the Reds for different reasons during the transfer window.
Nunez has been linked with a move away from Liverpool whilst there are rumours that Jota could also depart Anfield, with both forwards struggling for form and fitness this season as Mohamed Salah has taken centre stage in the front-line under Slot.
And for Murphy, the former Liverpool man believes Nunez and Jota could be two of the first players to be sold by the Reds, with the attacking options in need of an overhaul if the Merseyside giants are to move away from being overreliant on Salah.

Murphy said: “I think most of the activity will be at the front of the pitch.
There’s also talk on Jota, not because of his goalscoring ability, but because he’s injured all the time.”
A centre-forward is clearly at the top of Liverpool’s shopping list for the summer, with Slot yet to find the right player for the position having tried out Jota, Nunez and even Luis Diaz for the role across the season.
Thankfully, the Reds have been linked with a number of exciting options, with Alexander Isak Liverpool’s main target for the striker position, even with Newcastle United demanding a Premier League record £150m for the Swedish international.
With Hugo Ekitike also wanted by Liverpool as the Reds continue to eye Jonathan David, it’s clear that the Premier League leaders are keeping on top of their plan to sign a striker, especially if Jota and Nunez are both sold.
