Liverpool duo Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones prepare for summer exit
Liverpool midfielders Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones could leave Anfield this summer as manager Arne Slot begins a major squad rebuild.
The Reds currently sit fifth in the Premier League and face an uphill battle to secure Champions League qualification.
Their European campaign recently ended in a comprehensive 4-0 aggregate defeat by Paris St-Germain in the quarter-finals.
Need to raise transfer funds
Following a reported £450m spend last year, the Merseyside club must now balance the books before securing new arrivals.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson have already confirmed their eventual departures on free transfers at the end of the current campaign.
However, significant player sales are still required to generate the necessary budget for incoming midfield targets.
Crystal Palace standout Adam Wharton has reportedly emerged as a primary candidate to reinforce the engine room.
Midfielders open to new challenges
Reports indicate both Mac Allister and Jones would welcome a move elsewhere to secure more regular starting opportunities.
The Argentine international has experienced a noticeable dip in form under the current regime.
Spanish giants Atletico Madrid are understood to be monitoring the former Brighton playmaker ahead of the upcoming international window.
Meanwhile, Jones is entering the final 12 months of his current deal.
The academy graduate is attracting significant domestic interest from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
Slot plans extensive overhaul
French prospect Jeremy Jacquet is already bound for Anfield, but further additions are anticipated across the pitch.
Selling two established first-team players would provide the incoming Dutch head coach with vital resources to shape the squad in his own image.
While both departing figures have contributed heavily to recent successes, neither is currently viewed as completely irreplaceable.
