All signs point towards Liverpool star leaving the club

Last summer Tyler Morton, Jarell Quansah, Ben Doak and Caoimhin Kelleher were all sold on for profit.

It was an attempt to generate more funds for Liverpool but at the same time it has left the club's homegrown options very short, and Slot's own squad therefore very short of depth as well.

Now Hughes could be making further cuts in this department in the summer.

Already in January there was a possibility of Curtis Jones joining Inter Milan. Anfield Watch understands the club has been in negotiations with him over a new contract for well over a year but there has so far been no compromise by either party.

In the summer, he will be entering the final year of his contract. Liverpool considered selling him in January when Inter came knocking but ultimately did not have the depth to be able to allow him to go mid-season.
