Liverpool 'put five players up for sale' as Arne Slot begins huge clear out

Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah next season after his exit announcement but it appears the Egyptian could be joined out the door

Liverpool will reportedly put five first-team players up for sale in the summer. These supposedly include Cody Gakpo and Alexis Mac Allister.

Arne Slot will already be losing Mohamed Salah when this current campaign comes to a close. The Egyptian announced last month that this season will be his last in a Liverpool shirt.

But a new report suggests he may not be the only notable departure. The Reds have endured a dismal season so far defending their Premier League crown.

They even have a battle on their hands to qualify for next term's Champions League and it appears the club is now prepared to act with an alleged summer firesale in the works.

On top of these potential sales, Curtis Jones' future is also uncertain and Ibrahima Konate is yet to sign a new contract, with his current deal expiring in June. There could also be a change higher up, with sporting director Richard Hughes a reported target for Saudi Pro League clubs.

All in all, with Salah's exit considered, the Reds could part with seven first-team players in the upcoming window. Slot's side spent a whopping 450million last summer.

Asked in December why this campaign has not been as successful as his first, Slot said: "I think if you bring in a lot of new players and a lot of players are gone, usually you see them playing better football after they've been together a bit longer.

"There's more training time, there's more playing time together. I think you could see this last season because that team was all the same with Jurgen [Klopp] the year before.

"Especially the first half of the season, I thought we played some very good football. That's helpful if players are together longer, and I think history has shown many times that the longer players are playing together, the bigger chance you have of winning something.

"If you add players to what you have, there's also a serious chance of improving. If you replace, like we've done, then it takes time, and then usually it gets better after a certain period of time."
