Liverpool letting old guard go for new blood at Anfield.


Liverpool FC have confirmed the departure from Anfield of Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain when their contracts expire this summer.

The four have enjoyed much success with Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, winning the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the English Premier League title amongst other honors.

This season, the quartet have appeared 69 times for Liverpool in the English Premier League matches combined, contributing 10 goals and five assists.

Among them, it is Firmino who has made more of an impact, scoring nine goals in 23 appearances, with four assists in his name.

While James Milner has amassed the most appearances in the EPL, with 29.

Having seen the club losing ground both in the EPL and the UEFA Champions League recently, the management at Anfield could be looking to refresh their side for another assault on the domestic league and the UCL.

It has been a frustrating season for Liverpool, and Jurgen Klopp in particular.

They are currently 5th on the EPL table with 65 points after 36 matches, still with a chance to qualify for the UCL after an impressive run of seven wins in a row.

Jurgen Klopp, guaranteed, still believes Liverpool can emulate the glory of 2019, with the current squad having reached what one might call a point of stagnation, new blood might give the team a new lease on life.

Liverpool will host Aston Villa on Saturday 20 May in a crucial EPL encounter at Anfield.
