It is a summer of big changes at Liverpool as the Premier League club prepare themselves for new faces at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp is leaving the club after joining in 2015, nine years after his arrival in the Premier League.
Feyenoord boss Arne Slot is expected to replace him at the end of the season after impressing the club chiefs.
Some players are expected to leave the club, the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip.
After eight years at the club, Matip is likely to leave the club with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have arrived at the club in prominent posts and they will be making the decisions regarding the Merseyside club.
Among other tasks, they may have to find a new defender as Joe Gomez is open to leaving the club in the summer, according to Anfield Watch.
The 26-year-old defender is not desperate to leave the club and he will not force a move away from Anfield.
However, he has informed the club that if they get a good offer for him, they should listen to it.
Gomez has been crucial for the Reds because of his versatility. The defender has been useful for the Merseyside club whenever they have been hit with injury issues in defense.
His ability to play as a right-back, centre-back and left-back has been vital for Klopp’s team.
The defender prefers a move back to London, having joined Premier League giants from Charlton Athletic.
New Liverpool boss given headache even before joining
The decision from Gomez will come as a huge blow to the incoming Liverpool boss Arne Slot, who will now have to focus on finding a replacement for the defender.
Only Gomez remains from the squad that Jurgen Klopp took over as manager of Liverpool in 2015; James Milner and Jordan Henderson both departed the club last summer.
This season, the defender has started 16 games in the Premier League, which is the most he has made in the last five seasons.
