Liverpool will ‘focus on outgoings’ for the rest of the current transfer window, according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs.

The Reds have enjoyed a productive start to the summer, bringing in striker Darwin Nunez from Benfica in a club-record £85 million deal, joining fellow new recruits Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay.

What is the latest news involving Liverpool?

After missing out on the signature of Aurélien Tchouameni to Real Madrid last month, Liverpool were tipped to re-enter the market for midfield reinforcements.

However, there has been no indication that Jurgen Klopp or sporting director Julian Ward are set to do that, with several players departing Anfield instead.

The most high-profile exit has undoubtedly been Sadio Mane’s. The Senegal international has joined Bayern Munich for £35m, stating that it was the ‘right time’ for a new challenge in his illustrious career.

Cult figure Divock Origi also walked out the Liverpool exit door after becoming a free agent, signing for new Serie A champions AC Milan, while Takumi Minamino has made the switch to AS Monaco in search of regular game time.

And academy graduate Neco Williams has been snapped up by newly-promoted Nottingham Forest for £16m, providing a significant boost to Liverpool’s bank balance.

What has Jacobs said about Liverpool?

Jacobs believes that the Merseysiders’ hierarchy will remain focussed on shifting fringe players out of the club in what remains of the window rather than securing new acquisitions.

In an interview with GiveMeSport, he said: “Liverpool will focus on outgoings. They already have.

“Sadio Mane has joined Bayern, Divock Origi moved to Milan, Neco Williams joined Forest, and Liverpool doubled their money on Takumi Minamino. They have recouped already around £70 million of the Darwin Nunez fee.”

Who else could Liverpool sell?

The Liverpool ECHO have reported that Klopp’s charges have placed a £15m price tag on centre-back Nathaniel Phillips, who enjoyed a productive loan spell at Bournemouth last season.

Meanwhile, fellow defender Ben Davies looks set to join Scottish Premiership giants Rangers after a deal was agreed on Sunday.

Central midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is another player tipped to seek pastures new, with The Mirror claiming Aston Villa and West Ham United are on ‘red alert’ over his availability.

The England international only has one year remaining on his current contract and could desire more regular game time when things get back underway in August.
