Ah, it comes out in the laundry. With the entire ordeal over, you can look to the exciting incoming calls that are heading down the Anfield path.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremie Frimpong has completed his medical care, and his move to Anfield is announced imminently, and Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth&#8217;s Milos Kerkez&#8217;s contract is in the pipeline. Liverpool also wants a new number nine.<\/p>\n<p>However, this cannot all happen without some exits. Let&#8217;s see who will leave Arne Slot&#8217;s Reds this summer.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"who-could-be-leaving-liverpool\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_leave_Liverpool\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Who can leave Liverpool?<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alexander Arnold wasn&#8217;t the only one to shed tears as Liverpool lifted the Premier League title after a season-deadline draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Elliott cuts the heart-pounding figure. Because the younger playmaker has been limited to a bit of a partial role this season and it seems he might leave. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund are names that are demanding \u00a350 million and are modest names.<\/p>\n<p>    Frimpong Inbound may be over a five-year stay at Kostas Tsimikas&#8217; club. Thirty-one year old Andy Robertson is in decline, but he wants to stay and challenge Kerquez.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin Nunes is probably the most nailed out for his departure. Liverpool wants a striker, but they can&#8217;t move forward without the sale of the Club Records guy. In this term, a well-documented struggle in England left him with just seven goals from 47 matches.<\/p>\n<p>    It was frustrating to watch Uruguay&#8217;s struggle, especially as he hopes to emulate his fellow countryman Luis Suarez and become a superstar at Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, strange reports of interest in Bayern Munich&#8217;s Cody Gakupo have also emerged this week, but it seems unlikely that FSG will allow the left forward behind alone Mohamed Sarah on Liverpool&#8217;s scoring chart this season.<\/p>\n<p>    However, Louis Diaz is also targeted by suitors and could be set as an exit in the coming months.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fsg-expecting-bid-for-key-player\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FSG_expects_key_players_bids\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>FSG expects key players bids<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Transfer Insider Ben Jacobs, Liverpool is hoping to hear from Saudi officials in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>    Jacobs believes Diaz will likely cost more than 805 million euros (\u00a372 million) if he leaves Anfield this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona has also had a long-standing interest in the 28-year-old, with La Blaugrana in particular publicly revealing praise for the players on the weight of the bid.<\/p>\n<p>Diaz is pushing for a new contract at Anfield, earning just \u00a355,000 a week, and is believed to be in the penultimate year of the current deal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-diaz-could-be-another-luis-suarez\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_can_Diaz_become_another_Luis_Suarez\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why can Diaz become another Luis Suarez?<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It may seem like a good idea to make a big offer to Diaz, but he is considered a &#8220;world-class&#8221; player by former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, effectively replacing him and in other areas that require investment.<\/p>\n<p>    In fact, the Colombian enjoys his best campaign in Liverpool, scoring 17 goals and offering eight assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, his underlying technical data is very impressive. According to FBREF, the skilled star ranks in 13% of the top 13% of the attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe&#8217;s top five leagues.<\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-note\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom note\" id=\"custom_block_28\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content note\">\n<p>A successful take-on is recorded when the player defeats the opponent while bringing the ball directly into the possession.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>By selling Diaz at the top of the game, you can even mimic Barcelona&#8217;s one-off sale of football legend Suarez, who joined Campnoo in 2014 for a deal worth \u00a375 million.<\/p>\n<p>    Of course, there are differences, but Liverpool will abandon the South American star after competing for the season at the peak of the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>However, his feelings of indifference towards Diaz are misguided. With Suarez under Brendan Rogers, Diaz is one of the world&#8217;s greatest players in his position, perhaps a bit of waste here and there, but he&#8217;s creating an impressive number that other players may struggle to replicate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"4\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Top 5 European leagues (24\/25) highest score LWS<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>#<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>player<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>App<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>the goal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>1)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Rafina<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>36<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>18<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>2)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Bradley Barcola<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>34<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>14<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>3)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Lewis Diaz<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>36<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>13<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>4)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Habi Puad<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>35<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>12<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>5)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>Vinicius Junior<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p>30<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><strong>11<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"4\" style=\"text-align:center\">\n<p><em>Data from the Transfer Market<\/em><\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>As you can see, Rafina and Paris Saint-Germain&#8217;s Bradley Barcola are the only left-handed advances in Europe&#8217;s top five leagues to surpass Diaz this season, and he was in fact the highest scorer in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>Suarez scored 82 goals in 133 games for the Reds. He is, of course, not on the go, but the principles remain. Liverpool skates across thin ice so that fleet-footed Maverick can leave with more drastic changes on Anfield Road.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a tricky thing.
