Liverpool willing to let three more stars leave as summer transfer overhaul continues

Liverpool are making big moves in the transfer market after embarking on a huge summer spree, while also letting Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz leave the club – and there could be more outgoings

Liverpool could let three youngsters leave the club this summer as Luca Stephenson, James McConnell and Lewis Koumas gain interest from a number of teams.

The Reds have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer window after spending nearly £300million on high profile stars like Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong.

There have also been a handful of outgoings after the departures of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid for £10m and Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for around £63.5m.

And the Premier League champions are open to sanctioning more exits for some young players as manager Arne Slot continues to overhaul his squad to keep it in fighting contention for the Premier League title once again.

Stephenson has featured in pre-season under Slot and has impressed Slot after being included in the pre-season tour to Asia, but he has interest from Dundee United , Swansea, Reading, Rotherham and Cardiff over a loan move.

Aberdeen are also fans of the 21-year-old and are considering a permanent transfer, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Meanwhile, McConnell is attracting interest from West Brom, Ipswich, Derby, Oxford, Swansea and French side Metz after impressing for Liverpool in cup competitions in recent years – having caught the eye while starting for the team in a Champions League clash against PSV last season.

And Koumas is another player who could be on the move as Norwich, Sheffield United, Hull, Preston, Birmingham and Wrexham all monitor the player.

Koumas – who has already made his international debut for Wales – scored on his Liverpool debut in the FA Cup last year during a 3-0 win over Southampton and scored six times on loan with Stoke last season.

There has even been an approach from La Liga giants Sevilla over Koumas’ signature, with the Spanish club looking to rebuild after a relegation battle in 2024-25.

It comes as Liverpool work on securing a massive deal for Alexander Isak after seeing a £120m bid rejected by Newcastle.

Isak has already told the Magpies he wants to consider his options this summer and has refused to travel with the team for their pre-season tour in Asia – with manager Eddie Howe admitting the situation is “not in my control”.
