Although the January transfer window is in full flow and Liverpool are scouring the market for new signings, they will need to turn their attention to players already at the club sooner rather than later. Three of the Reds’ most important players will head into the final 12 months of their contracts this summer and they could leave gaping holes in the squad. Jurgen Klopp orchestrated a major midfield rebuild over the summer transfer window, allowing ex-stalwarts to depart in order to raise funds and create space for new signings. James Milner, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita were all offloaded, with younger replacements signed. The Reds are now said to be focusing on other departments, though the contract situations of some of their most important stars are likely to become a priority soon.
