Mario Balotelli, Tiago Ilori, Lazar Markovic and Mamadou Sakho are all among those that Jurgen Klopp wants to move on, according to reports.
Liverpool could see as many as four players leave the club before the transfer deadline, according to a report in the Daily Mirror.
Mario Balotelli and Lazar Markovic being surplus to requirements has been pretty well documented but it looks as if Tiago Ilori may well be heading for the Anfield exit as well.
Ilori has been on the fringes of the Liverpool side for some time. He signed for the club for £7 million at the end of the summer 2013 transfer window but has had numerous loan spells before being recalled from his last one at Aston Villa last season.
The 23-year-old has made a total of three appearances for the club and the Reds are pretty well stocked at the heart of their defence, meaning he is surplus to requirements.
The same can be said for Mamadou Sakho who has been told to find a new club to play for on loan in order to build up his fitness and get some regular game time under his belt, but the Express (at 09:17) reports that Sakho has turned down interest from Besiktas.
The Liverpool Echo had reported the France international has previously turned down offers from Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion and they say if he remains at the club he could be on the sidelines all season.
Balotelli has been strongly linked with a move to Nice, as mentioned in the Mirror’s report, while they hope that Markovic will secure a loan move.
It does seem that if there is any movement on the transfer front at Liverpool today, it will be players leaving as Jurgen Klopp looks to trim his squad rather than see anyone else coming in.
