What will Liverpool look like on the first day of its 2025/26 campaign?
Will Arne Slot watch as Connor Bradley completes the first day of his new first choice obligation at right back, or will a fresh face take on the job and replace Trent Alexander Arnold tied up by Real Madrid?
There will be a lot of changes over the next few months. For one, the new team will be etched into the Premier League title, with Liverpool set to replace Manchester City with the division’s Kingpin, with 12 points clearing from second-place Arsenal in nine games.
But it will need to be addressed in time. Certainly, Alexander Arnold is not the only famous Red Star that could potentially leave Anfield this summer.
Players leaving Liverpool this summer
Paul Joyce of the Times – a normally relentless source of news – unveiled in the wake of the latest batch of torrent-related developments. Optimism means Virgil van Dik and Mohamed Sarah will be Liverpool players next season.
However, there are many players who want to break up with FSG. Sports Director Richard Hughes has cut out his work, with the flag’s frontline facing a considerable amount of modifications.
According to Sky Germany earlier this month, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunes could all be sold for cleaning this summer.

Jota and Diaz suffer from b-responsibility in recent years with a wealth of performances, but Nunes’ difficulties are of a deeper nature. I don’t feel there’s a way to go back for the Uruguayans. Uruguay needs to leave this summer.
Why Liverpool should x Darwin Nunes
Ah, Nunes. There’s no time for a likable striker to turn his Liverpool career around. In fact, the nine remaining fixtures from the 2024/25 campaign will not be enough for him to save his career in red.
Liverpool signed Nunes from Benfica in a deal worth £805 million after the end of the 2021/22 season. There was a wise move considering Roberto Firmino was entering the final year of his contract.
It had so many promises, so many expectations. Almost two years in the Premier League, Klopp said that after two bags in the Europa League against Sparta Prague, Maverick said that “quality comes out of the ears,” but such moments were sadly rare for players who couldn’t hit the height.
In fact, Nunez has only scored 25 goals from 88 Premier League matches. Erling Haaland, who signed Manchester City in the same window, posted 94-84.
However, there was always something enthusiastic and exciting about how to play the game nine times. At least that was the case under the wings of Klopp. Slot failed to trigger development from this South American star, who only scored seven goals in every sport this season, due to his all his brilliance.

The 25-year-old’s growth in front of the finish line was sadly negligible. Nunez is not statistically wasted this season, but his actual influence in the final third is unacceptable.
Saudi Arabian professional league giant Al Nasr made the move in January but failed to convince Liverpool to say goodbye to a struggling striker. This is mainly because FSG was reluctant to sell first-team regulars at the midpoint of their title-purpose campaign. As long as Nunez maintains presence, this supports the fruit and could leave as Premier League champions.
Don’t forget: Nuness did He won a stunning off-the-bench brace against Brentford in January, and is valuable in his slot cause after consecutive draws with Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Arsenal fell at the same time, but it peeled off to Liverpool and gave him a boost to establish a terrifying bay.
Nunes’ less scalable goal catalogue in Anfield is frustrating to look at. This means that the striker with all the parts becomes a superstar. Klopp may have made the wrong move by signing him with a club record rising fee, but that wasn’t a ridiculous move.
At Benfica, Nunes has set his goal of five 34 goals from his 41 appearances in the 2021/22 campaign. Five of them came in the Champions League against opponents such as Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
It’s very important that he was sold this summer. Nunez is one of the club’s highest earners at £140,000 a week, and those revenues mean they’ve pocketed over £20 million since joining Merseysiders almost three years ago. Athletic JJ Bull is primarily because Nunez is “irritating to watch,” apparently because there are many undeveloped possibilities.
Combining that with the £805 million figure, Nunes could have bleed about £105 million to Liverpool when it was sold this summer. And if Liverpool makes cash, you can bet your bottom won’t regain their spending in its entirety.
Nunes is on sale as Alexander Isaac and Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane are linked to summer trips to Anfield.
