Chelsea vs Liverpool: Klopp to sell six players after Thiago, Jota arrivals

Liverpool could allow up to six players to leave this summer, following the signing of Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota, according to The Athletic.

Thiago has joined for an initial £20m from Bayern Munich and has been given the No.6 shirt.
The Reds have also confirmed the £41m capture of Jota from Wolves.

Those two deals bump the Premier League champions' summer spending up considerably.

Before then however, Jurgen Klopp had spent £11.5m on left-back Kostas Tsimikas.

Some of the Jota's payment will be offset by selling Ki-Jana Hoever to Wolves for a fee rising to £13.5m.

The Reds need to balance the books further though following the adverse impact of COVID-19.

Harry Wilson and Marko Grujic could bring in the biggest transfer fees. Both are valued at around £20m and Liverpool will not want to let them go on the cheap.

Liverpool also want to offload defenders Nat Phillips and Yasser Larouci along with out-of-favour goalkeeper Loris Karius.

Speculation also continues that Rhian Brewster could increase the Anfield exodus to six.
