I know we joke about it, but Virgil and Gomez will seriously be like "new signings".
Keita will stay, Ox may stay, I feel like it will be up to him. Origi and Shaq are gone. Is Milner still under contract for one more year? If so I don't see him leaving. He'll see out his contract then leave. Gini has been gone for months now.
Feel like Kabak won't be bought, Matip will be here but won't be counted on so if we get Konate that will likely be our CB's sorted (Phillips will stay unless he wants first team football).
So by my accounts that's Origi and Shaq gone, Gini gone and likely Kabak gone.
So we need a minimum of three additions to keep the squad where it was. I'd say Harvey Elliott may be a big part of our plans, Minamino will be back and likely will still be part of Klopp's plans after a full preseason. I'd bet we may sign this Konate fella and a midfielder and then from there it will depend on what happens with the front three. As long as they are happy and want to stay, I don't see us bringing in a striker. We will be linked with a sh*t ton of players, but at the end of the day, I see maybe 2 or 3 incomings and they will be reasonably priced. Now if I was in charge....I'd be all over one of Haaland or Mbappe but that's just not going to happen with FSG at the helm. And maybe it would never happen with Klopp at the helm either.
