Liverpool have a number of young talents on their books that are subject to outside interest.
The squad is well and truly stacked right now. Before the summer ends, the club's net-spend will fall significantly as Arne Slot begins to outline his plans for the upcoming campaign. It's an exciting time.

Pre-season has been a good indicator to assess whether any of Liverpool's promising stars are ready for a more regular first-team involvement and others have shot up the club's pecking order.

But we're now nearing the start of the season and a number of judgement calls will need to be made.
Some will be loan moves and others might be moved on permanently. There are plenty of options.
One of the main youngsters Liverpool have been developing recently has been Luca Stephenson, a 21-year-old English player capable of performing in a number of different positions around the pitch.
By trade, he is a midfielder, but his time spent in the first-team has seen him become a makeshift right-back and centre-back. In some ways, he's our new James Milner, playing all over the place.
He's been a key asset in the pre-season tour of Asia, playing in defensive positions and his ability to play makeshift roles has become incredibly important, while Liverpool's squad planning continues.
But if the Reds do sign a centre-back, then it is highly likely that Stephenson will be pushed out of the squad, since we have two right-backs and the midfield pack is almost impenitrable right now.
