Seven players leaving Liverpool today as Arne Slot trims squad after £216m spree

Monday marks the final day of several Liverpool players' contracts with the club, as they prepare to depart on free transfers. June 30 is typically when the vast majority of player contracts end, meaning any player whose contract has not been renewed will become a free agent.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was on the brink of leaving Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of this month. However, the Reds managed to secure a deal worth up to £10million with Real Madrid, allowing the right-back to move to the Santiago Bernabeu a few weeks early to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Despite this transaction, Liverpool are set to see several players officially exit the club by the end of play on Monday, as Arne Slot plans for the 2025/26 season.

Liverpool confirmed their retained list in the first week of June, revealing that seven academy players would be departing once their contracts expired. Jakub Orjzynski, Dominic Corness, Reece Trueman, Lee Jonas, Louis Enahoro-Marcus, Harry Evers and Jacob Poytress will all leave Liverpool on Monday.

Their contracts expire at the end of June, making them free agents from the Tuesday July 1. Liverpool also announced at the time that they had offered contracts to eight other members of the academy.

Kareem Ahmed, Keyrol Figueroa, Emmanuel Airoboma, Wellity Lucky, Terence Miles, Ranel Young, Michael Laffey and Kyle Kelly have all been offered new contracts by the club in a bid to keep these promising talents within the academy at the AXA Training Centre.

Regarding other departures from the first team, Caoimhin Kelleher has already sealed a permanent switch to Brentford earlier this summer, while Nat Phillips has moved to West Bromwich Albion. Loan moves have also been confirmed, with Vitezslav Jaros heading to Ajax and Harvey Davies signing for Crawley Town.

The club have already splashed out £216m on new signings this summer, with Milos Kerkez the most recent arrival from Bournemouth for £40m. They've also got deals over the line for £29.5m Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz - who cost a potential British record £116m, with £100m up front - with both joining from Bayer Leverkusen.

Two goalkeepers, £29m Valencia and Georgia stopper Giorgi Mamardasvili and Armin Pecsi, for a relatively meagre £1.5m from Puskas Academia have also joined.
