Liverpool could still make more than £200m this summer

Liverpool could still make a lot of money this summer, more than £200m in fact.

The reality is that there are a lot of assets that need to be sold by Richard Hughes in this window. At this moment in time, with Hugo Ekitike closing in on a move to Liverpool, the Reds will have 18 non-homegrown players in their first team squad.

Diogo Jota: Thank you

The list will include the following players:

Alisson, Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Endo, Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo, Ekitke.

In the Premier League, you can only register 17 non-homegrown players so that means one person is guaranteed to be sold. But the reality is that it won't just be one player but multiple players who will move on.

From the club's non-homegrown players the likes of Federico Chiesa, Luis Diaz, Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez could still be in line to leave the club.

On top of that homegrown players like Harvey Elliott, Tyler Morton and Owen Beck also face uncertain futures. Meanwhile, U21 stars like Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak are again players who could be let go on permanent deal.

We've had a look at the potential players who could be sold and for around how much to figure out just how much money Richard Hughes could be in line to make this summer.

We've included the list here with some rough estimates of transfer fees.

Players to be sold -

Luis Diaz - £70m

Darwin Nunez - £60m

Federico Chiesa - £15m

Ben Doak - £25m

Kostas Tsimikas - £15m

Harvey Elliott - £40m

Tyler Morton - £12m

These are the players from the first team squad. But some of the club's U21 players could also be set for permanent moves.

Among the likeliest to leave and for how much are as follows:

Owen Beck - £5m

Calvin Ramsay - £1m

Rhys Williams - £1m

Then there are other players who could be moving on loan, too. These could include the likes of:

Kieran Morrison

Wellity Lucky

Jayden Danns

Stefan Bajcetic

Luke Chambers

Trent Kone-Doherty

Lewis Koumas

In total, based on our rough estimates, it's probable that Liverpool could still make over £200m in player sales this summer, and that's even if for example someone like Chiesa is not sold but instead kept in the squad.

So all in all, while Liverpool have spent a lot, the club's finances are still in good stead and the money spent will be compensated by the money going out of the club.
