Liverpool can raise £80-100million by selling players not involved in club's future

Liverpool are being backed to raise between £80m-£100m this summer through a clear out of players currently at the club.

Jurgen Klopp's side booked their place in the Champions League for next season on a dramatic final day in the Premier League, which saw Leicester City miss out on a top four spot.

What seemed an impossible task only a matter of weeks ago was made possible by an extraordinary run of eight victories and two draws in the final ten league matches of the campaign.

Competing in Europe's elite competition is likely to boost the Reds' ability to attract top players to Anfield in the coming weeks, with RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate expected to be one of the club's summer additions.

But decisions must also be made on those who are to leave.

Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge believes the club could sell four or five players, in order to generate funds for the transfer market.

Who should Liverpool sell this summer? Comment below.

"Securing Champions League football for next season was huge. It’s going to bring in millions of pounds, even more the further you go in the competition," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"You’d like to think that if Klopp can sell some players and bring in around £80m-£100m, which you can with the sale of four or five of the players that are there.

Aldridge added: "That should then be a really big kitty to do some dealing, like they did with the money from selling Philippe Coutinho.

"The players that are sellable and aren’t going to be in Liverpool ’s future, then Klopp should have a nice kitty to go and get the three players that we need."

There has been plenty of talk regarding which players will form part of Klopp's future plans, particularly those who have spent time out on loan in recent seasons.

Harry Wilson, Marko Grujic and Loris Karius are three players whose time at Anfield may well be up.

Wilson has spent the last four seasons at four separate clubs, impressing at Hull City, Derby County, Bournemouth and Cardiff City.

The same also applies for Grujic, who has enjoyed spells with Cardiff, Hertha Berlin and Porto.

Klopp recently provided an update on his approach to the transfer window, stating:

"Yes, I’m very happy with my squad – very, very happy. Could this squad improve? Yes, like each squad could. Is that affordable? I don’t know. Is it necessary? I don’t know. Whatever happens, we will see, I don’t know in this moment, to be honest.

"We have to make decisions in and out, all these kind of things, it’s normal in a summer," he told liverpoolfc.com
