Former Liverpool ace Danny Murphy feels Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and James Milner could all leave Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League strugglers during the summer transfer window, speaking to talkSPORT.

When you consider how old this Liverpool team is and the players that are on it, it really shouldn’t come as much of a sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇ that Klopp’s kingdom is beginning to fall apart.

All of the club’s longest-serving players, including Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah, and Naby Keita, as well as Milner, are above the age of 30. Both Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho are 29 years old.

Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho, and Stefan Bajcetic just out of short shorts and far from the final thing are their replacements, but they are not quite ready to step up to the plate just yet.

On the one side, you have a band full of aging rockers who are well past their prime and don’t have the energy to mosh around like they used to when they were in Klopp’s “heavy metal” band. And a large number of children who are not yet of legal age to enter. To put it more succinctly, there is a lack of players who are at the height of their powers and who are still in their prime.

A BIG REBUILD MAY BE COMING AT LIVERPOOL

According to Murphy, “We’re talking about a club that came quite close to winning the quadruple during the previous season.”

They don’t even bother to look at it. It does not appear that they have many legs or that they are particularly hungry. It goes without saying that they are short a few players. However, they started the season with some of those players, and it didn’t make a difference in their performance.

Murphy, who won the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup with Liverpool in 2001 while playing for the club under the late Gerard Houllier, anticipates that some of Liverpool’s longest-serving players will bid an emotional farewell to the club at the end of a difficult and tumultuous season.

The former England international continues, “I think there’s a reconstruction that needs to be done.” To clarify, this means that some players will be leaving, while others will be joining. Both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita are free agents, and I wouldn’t be sᴜʀᴘʀɪsᴇd if the latter left the club.

“I’m not quite confident that James Milner will be here for the next year. In that case, he won’t be playing the game very often. There are three midfielders in all (leaving).

“There is a need for new ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ in the middlefield.”
