Liverpool might be staring down the barrel of another summer clearout, according to transfer sources close to the club.

After watching Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez all depart following last season's Premier League triumph, it seems the Anfield conveyor belt isn't slowing down anytime soon.

With Mo Salah and Andy Robertson already heavily linked with moves away, whispers suggest five more first-team regulars could be packing their bags before the new campaign kicks off.

The identity of these potential departures remains under wraps for now, but the very suggestion will have Kopites reaching for the antacids. Losing seven players in the space of 12 months would represent a seismic shift in how Liverpool operates in the transfer market.

Slot's rebuild clearly runs deeper than many anticipated when he first walked through the doors. Whether this represents shrewd squad management or desperate penny-pinching remains the million-pound question.

The coming weeks will reveal just how ambitious Liverpool's summer plans really are, and whether the Anfield faithful are in for another rollercoaster ride.
