According to reports, four Liverpool stars have been offered to Spanish giants FC Barcelona through their agents and could leave this summer.
A summer overhaul is potentially on the cards at Liverpool following Jurgen Klopp s exit as a few of their players are being linked with moves elsewhere.
It has been suggested that Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold could leave at some point over the next couple of transfer windows as their current contracts are due to expire in 2025.
A deal is already in place for current Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot to succeed Klopp in the summer and he will be up against it as the task of replacing the Liverpool icon will be tough for pretty much every manager in the world.

Diaz is reportedly studying the possibility of leaving and he s liked by Barcelona but it s indicated that Liverpool s high valuation would make a transfer difficult.
It is acknowledged that Nunez is in a similar situation as Liverpool will not settle for a low economic compensation .
Tsimikas is not being ruled out as he could potentially replace Alejandro Balde, while Carvalho an old Barcelona target is described as an interesting reinforcement for the future despite him stagnating at Liverpool.
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has warned Slot and Co. that they must get their recruitment right if Salah leaves in the summer for the Saudi Pro League.
“Arne Slot has to be himself and hope he gets the Liverpool of the first seven months of the season and not the one we’ve seen in the last two,” Souness said on William Hill s Three Up Front podcast.
