LIVERPOOL FOR 25/26: WHO STAYS, WHO GOES FOR ME?

GOALKEEPERS

Alisson: Keep. Best Keeper we've had.

Giorgi Mamardashvili: Coming in after completion of his loan in Valencia. Looking forward to see him play.

Harvey Davies: Keep as our number 3 goalkeeper.

Jaros: Sell. Deserves having regular first team football elsewhere.

Kelleher: Sell. Also deserves minutes elsewhere now Giorgi is coming in. Don't get me wrong, he's been good.

DEFENDERS

Trent Alexander Arnold: He's gone. Will be replaced by Frimpong.
Conor Bradley: To Keep for a long haul as competition for Frimpong. Quite injury prone so needs careful management.
Jeremie Frimpong: Arriving to LFC as a long term replacement for TAA. Also slots into TAA's homegrown slot as Frimpong had years of training at our rivals Man City.
Calvin Ramsey: Sell. A pointless signing last season.
Jarell Quansah: Sell. The less said of him the better, he's been nothing short of calamitous.
 Joe Gomez: Sell. Never consistently available and fit. 
Ibrahima Konate: Keep if he ties down a contract. Otherwise sell him now.
Virgil Van Dijk: Keep. Still our mainstay center back and Captain. But we'll need to start looking for successors soon.
Rhys Williams: Sell for cash.
Nathaniel Phillips: Sell.
Tsimikas: Sell. About time we start considering to cash him in.
Robertson: Keep, but no longer as a 1st choice left back.

MIDFIELDERS

Tyler Morton: Can go either way. Keep as squad option or sell if a good offer comes in for him.
James McConnell: Same scenario as Morton.
Wataru Endo: Easy keep. Good squad option for defensive midfielder, also a surprisingly effective center-back. Deserves to be added to the core leadership group.
Harvey Elliott: Sell. Deserves minutes elsewhere. Don't know why Slot doesn't rate him.
Stefan Bajcetic: Keep but he has to prove himself in 25/26 as this is the last chance I'll give him before I say sell.
Trey Nyoni: Keep. Would like to see more of him during pre-season.
Curtis Jones: Sell. Not good enough for the pace of the game for the longest time.
Alexis Mac Allister: Keep. Best Midfielder we have. End of story.
Ryan Gravenberch: Premier League Young player of the season. 1000% Keep. Will need a supplemental defensive midfielder for him or he's gonna be ran to the ground.
Dominik Szoboszlai: Keep as part of a rotation with Florian Wirtz potentially coming in.
Florian Wirtz: The contract deal is already agreed. Now comes the finances of the deal. Should expect a here we go by Fabrizio Romano soon.

FORWARDS:

Federico Chiesa: Sell. Pointless Signing.
Diogo Jota: Sell. As lethal he is, he is way too injury prone to handle consistently.
Darwin Nunez: Sell. Inconsistent.
 (LOAN)Jayden Danns: Would benefit with a full season loan as he's not had consistent minutes due to injury.
 (LOAN) Louis Koumas: He's been good to be fair, but I think he'll benefit with another year in Stoke.
Kaide Gordon: Sell. Too Injury prone to keep around.
Luis Diaz: Keep. However, I'm open to letting him go if an offer of at least 90m Euro comes in.
Mohamed Salah: Easy Keep for the Premier League player of the season. Complete his career here and fully deserves a promotion to vice-captain. Said it before and I'll say again, he's someone that acts like the big brother of the squad and will make a good body conditioning coach or instructor. Still would need a natural successor for him, however.
Ben Doak: He's the only natural right winger we have, outside of Salah. Until another RW comes in, keep. Should play for us more and start for some of the cup games. 10 GAs in 24 games for Boro for someone so young is nothing to sneeze at.
Cody Gakpo: Keep. Indispensable atm. Both as a central striker or Left Winger. Probably the most consistent forward after Salah. Should be peaking soon. Another player I'm quite excited for to see what his future holds.
