Liverpool preparing to sell three players to balance

According to Sports.

Why is this important

Liverpool are facing financial difficulties after spending heavily on transfers, making squad cuts necessary. Selling players like Federico Chiesa could help the club balance its budget and free up funds for new signings, especially in the attacking line. It also highlights the growing tensions in the Premier League transfer market as clubs struggle to adapt to new economic realities.

Key takeaways

• Liverpool is preparing to sell three players as a balancing act.
• Liverpool are planning to sell off three players to balance their budget after spending heavily on transfers.
• Game over for three Liverpool stars as sales lined up.

Liverpool once again find themselves in a situation where they need to balance their budget, and in this context the club is considering the possibility of selling three of its players: Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones. The decision comes as a result of significant transfer spending this season, which has already totaled around £100 million. In particular, Liverpool signed Victor Muñoz from Osasuna for £34 million and also struck a deal worth around £60 million for Jeremy Jacquet.

The club's fans have been clamoring for new signings, especially in the attacking line, but it appears that in order to make room for new players, some existing members of the squad will have to be parted ways. After spending £450m on transfers last summer, the club will struggle to match Paris Saint-Germain's £145m asking price for Brad Barcola. This calls into question the future of many players in Andoni Iraola's first team.

Last Sunday, Liverpool played two matches with Como. The first took place behind closed doors at the AXA training ground and included two halves of 35 minutes each. Both Chiesa and Elliott were in the starting lineup, but there was no indication that they would return to the first team for the next match against the same opponents, which took place at Anfield.According to a report from the Liverpool Echo, these players' absence from the second leg could indicate they are heading towards exiting the club.


According to the source, "The immediate future outlook for Chiesa and Elliott does not look promising." Elliott, back from a failed loan spell at Aston Villa, now has just one year left on his contract and it is likely that Liverpool will not be able to get the promised £35 million for him and may have to settle for significantly less. Chiesa, for his part, has failed to establish himself since joining Liverpool in 2024 and is also seen as a potential candidate for a return to Serie A, but Italian clubs are not prepared to meet his contractual and transfer fee demands.

There is also another player who has been sidelined recently due to a thigh injury. Curtis Jones, 25, now also appears to be on his way to Inter as sporting director Hughes is willing to agree to a £30m deal for the club's graduate."With continued interest in Curtis Jones, the official word is that he is still out with a thigh problem which kept him out last weekend against Monaco," the source said.

Selling these three players could significantly improve the club's financial position, allowing Iraola to sign the winger he wants before the transfer window closes in early September. Liverpool have so far received just £700,000 from the sale of Luke Stevenson to Bolton, which is an extremely low price for a player of his caliber. "But with the club only managing to make £700,000 in sales this season, it would be surprising if Liverpool don't sell some of their reserve players before the transfer window closes," says the source. Obviously, the club will need to balance their financial expenditures, otherwise they may miss out on the opportunity to sign Barcola or another player to replace him.

What happens next

Liverpool are expected to continue to work on player sales to make way for new signings. Given the absence of Chiesa and Elliott in the last match, this could indicate that they are close to leaving the club. The club will have to make important decisions in the coming weeks to strengthen its squad ahead of the start of the new Premier League season.
