Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has already taken major steps to reshape the first-team squad before the transfer window shuts at the end of August.

The Merseysiders shattered their transfer record with the signing of Mohamed Salah for around £39million from Roma last week and have also snapped up young forward Dominic Solanke from Chelsea.

With Klopp also keen to sign a top-class centre-back and central midfielder, Salah’s status as the most expensive player in the club’s history is unlikely to last long as the prospect grows that more than £200million could be spent by the club on new signings this summer.

American owners Fenway Sports Group are backing the German in the market but the influx of expensive new arrivals will also be accompanied over the coming weeks by the sale of senior Liverpool players deemed surplus to requirements.

The Premier League giants negotiated major fees for the likes of Christian Benteke, Joe Allen, Martin Skrtel, Jordon Ibe, Brad Smith and Luis Alberto last summer, and they are expected to bring in big money for other major assets in this transfer window.

The only deal currently in place is Andre Wisdom’s move to Derby County for a potential £4.5million but the Echo report he will be the first of many departures that could raise more than £100million in proceeds.

Here are 10 players who could follow Wisdom out of the exit door as part of a mass exodus, including a £20million midfielder who is definitely up for sale:
