That’s according to the Liverpool Echo, who have broken down exactly which players could move on this summer and how much they could amass in transfer fees.
The outlet claim that as many as eight squad and fringe players could seal transfers away once this summer’s window opens.
The names on the outgoing’s list include Takumi Minamino (£10m), Taiwo Awoniyi (£8m), Loris Karius (£3m), Ben Woodburn (£2m), Harry Wilson (£12m), Divock Origi (£15m), Xherdan Shaqiri (£15m) and Marko Grujic.
Midfielder Gini Wjinaldum is also set to join Barcelona in the coming days, although, given the fact the Dutchman is now out of contract, his transfer will not cost the Catalonia side a thing.
Barcelona plans on free agents ??
– Gini Wijnaldum is now close to sign until June 2024. He received approaches from PSG and Bayern but no agreement.
– Sergio Agüero: done deal.
– Eric Garcia: done deal.
– Depay: Barça made their proposal, waiting for Memphis final answer.
