Joe Gomez’s future can also be up within the air, whereas Ibrahima Konate is attracting curiosity from Actual Madrid along with his contract up subsequent summer time.

“I believe Crystal Palace are going to lose both Guehi or [Eberechi] Eze, whichever they resolve to let go.
“I believe he would work nice subsequent to Van Dijk, that is a long-term succession plan for Liverpool.
“However Liverpool are usually not messing about. I do suppose Liverpool have laid it all the way down to everyone now, saying: ‘That is what we will do., come and catch us for those who can’.”
On the cash Liverpool have spent this summer time, Deeney added: “It is really not going to be an enormous internet spend both.
“They’ve had Kelleher go away, speak of Robertson going, so there’s going to be a number of to verify they do not spend as a lot because it sounds.”

Liverpool acquired a bundle value as much as £18million for his or her back-up goalkeeper, and Robertson leaving would usher in more money.
The Scottish left-back, who Kerkez might now take the beginning place of, is open to transferring to Spain, with Atlético Madrid .
Combining these two departures with the £25million price for Quansah brings down the Reds’ internet spend.
They’d have already recovered over £40million of their £185million splash as soon as Quansah formally leaves the membership.
Ought to Robertson go too, they’d make again much more.
And that would effectively unencumber sufficient money to tempt Crystal Palace into parting methods with Guehi this summer time.
