Liverpool are entering a new era, as Arne Slot is now the head coach of the men's first team.
The Jurgen Klopp era is a thing of the past and change is coming to Anfield, although not all players will get the chance to write this new chapter.
The Reds' squad planning means that they actually only have a few salable assets left in their squad, and most of those who need to be replaced have to leave to make ends meet.
Here are five players Liverpool should sell in the summer transfer window.
Come, Caoimhin. You can't be Liverpool's backup goalkeeper for the rest of your life.
Incredibly, Kelleher managed a career-high 47 appearances for the Reds during his time as Allison's understudy. But he's also now 25 years old and should probably look for consistent minutes elsewhere.
New Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has warned Kelleher that his place in the national team could be in jeopardy if he does not leave Anfield.
For whatever reason, Fabio Carvalho was not Klopp's cup of tea.
There's every chance that Slot could be more attractive to the 21-year-old, but the odds are slim against him at the moment.
Liverpool have many promising players emerging in midfield and attack. It is possible that Carvalho, however good and capable he may be, will not see the game time required to fully develop at Anfield.
In the 2020/21 season, Nat Phillips emerged as an unlikely cult hero.
A no-nonsense defender, but one who liked the occasional clever turn. A young product of the academy, who was actually already twenty years old. A solution to Liverpool's problems, but only half because he was trying to fill Virgil van Dijk's boots.
So far, the club has been unable to move Phillips permanently. With a year left on his contract, it looks like now is their last chance to cash in on him.
Phillips' star back in the 2020/21 campaign was Rhys Williams, who has had a year in Hell.
At the start of the 2023/24 season, Williams joined Aberdeen on loan, but only played once and was recalled in January. Shortly after going to Port Vale, he was injured and sent back to Liverpool.
The poor guy just can't catch a break, but here's hoping he can finally go somewhere and play regularly for years to come.
Once billed as Van Dijk's heir apparent, Liverpool are now at odds with 22-year-old Sepp van den Berg.
After a good season on loan at Mainz, the Dutchman moved to Liverpool by putting a huge price tag on him to make it permanent.
“You didn't trust me all this time, but you want to interfere with my future. I want to keep playing every week and improve,” he said in early June.
