Liverpool look set for a busy summer transfer window.
To their credit, the club has already made progress by securing new contracts for key players Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
However, uncertainty remains around Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is rumored to be considering a free transfer to Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Beyond the star players, Liverpool are also expected to make changes to the wider squad. According to Sky Sports, Kostas Tsimikas is one of the players the club plans to offload.
What has Arne Slot said about potential departures?
Head coach Arne Slot and the club’s recruitment staff face several important decisions ahead of the new season.
Despite winning the Premier League, it’s clear some adjustments are needed for the 2024/25 campaign.
Slot seems to agree. His post-match comments after a 3-1 loss to Chelsea suggest he already has an idea of which players may need to move on.
“They deserve to play because they’ve worked hard all season,” Slot told Sky Sports. “We don’t judge them based on one game—we assess them daily in training and during their appearances.”
Could Jarell Quansah be on the way out?
If Slot is evaluating players ahead of the transfer window, Jarell Quansah may not have helped his case.
The centre-back had a rough game against Chelsea and was rated the worst performer on the pitch by Sofascore (5.9/10).
While an own goal wasn’t entirely his fault—coming after a deflected clearance from van Dijk—his overall display left much to be desired.
Quansah has had limited opportunities this season, playing just 398 minutes in the league, and was notably subbed at halftime in the season opener against Ipswich. His latest stats versus Chelsea show a mixed performance:
3 clearances
2 blocked shots
1 interception
1 own goal
1 error leading to a shot
1 penalty conceded
2/6 duels won
9 possessions lost
92% pass accuracy (82/89)
Sky Sports journalist Sam Blitz didn’t hold back in his critique, noting Quansah’s performance summed up a sloppy outing for Liverpool overall.
Though this wasn’t his best performance in a Liverpool shirt, fans will hope it’s not his last.
