Liverpool are bracing for a substantial squad transformation this summer, with as many as nine players anticipated to depart Anfield following a deeply frustrating campaign.
The Reds have endured a season of profound disappointment, exiting the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League prematurely whilst sitting fifth in the Premier League table.
Their title defence has long been abandoned, trailing Arsenal by 18 points with just six matches remaining.
The club invested approximately £413m on signings before the 2025-26 season began, yet have nothing to show for it in terms of silverware.
Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool this summer after falling out with Arne Slot

Manager Arne Slot acknowledged the scale of change ahead after the Champions League elimination to Paris Saint-Germain, stating: "We have to sell to buy."
His own position at the club remains uncertain following the barren campaign.
Mohamed Salah's departure after nine years at the club is now confirmed, bringing an end to what was supposed to be a triumphant farewell season.
The Egyptian forward has reached an agreement to leave at the end of June, despite having extended his contract until 2027 just last year.
He is understood to have experienced differences with Slot and has performed below his usual standards this campaign.
Saudi Arabian football has long pursued the 33-year-old, and a move to the Middle East appears imminent.
Andy Robertson will also exit when his deal expires, having not been offered fresh terms.
Curtis Jones will enter the final year of his contract and Liverpool are looking to cash in

The Scotland captain has been underutilised this season according to many observers.
Should Tottenham secure their top-flight status, the left-back would prefer joining the north London side.
Curtis Jones finds himself with no shortage of admirers as he enters the final twelve months of his Liverpool contract.
The 25-year-old England international has been linked with Inter Milan, who appear willing to offer the regular minutes he seeks.
Liverpool must decide whether to accept a fee now or risk losing him for nothing in 2027.
Harvey Elliott's temporary switch to Aston Villa has proved disastrous, with the 23-year-old featuring in just four Premier League matches.
Villa had an obligation to purchase him for £35m if he made ten top-flight appearances, but that threshold will not be reached.
Liverpool view him as an opportunity to generate transfer funds rather than a player to reintegrate.
Alexis Mac Allister and Federico Chiesa are also potentially set to leave

Federico Chiesa, once a cult hero at Anfield after his opening-day strike against Bournemouth, has largely faded from view and is expected to head back to Italy.
Calvin Ramsay and Rhys Williams will both depart when their contracts conclude this summer, with neither offered extensions.
Ramsay arrived from Aberdeen for £4.2m in 2022 but has managed just two starts this season, with Slot publicly stating in January that he does not consider the Scottish defender an option.
Williams has not featured competitively for Liverpool's first team since the 2020/21 campaign, when he stepped in alongside Nat Phillips during an injury crisis.
Joe Gomez came close to leaving last summer, with Crystal Palace, Brighton and AC Milan all interested, and those clubs remain keen on the versatile defender.
Alexis Mac Allister represents a more surprising potential departure, with the Argentine midfielder's form having declined and no renewal discussions taking place despite his contract running until 2028.
