Milner is probably not going anywhere this summer.
Wijnaldum is a strange one. Will he sign a new contract soon, be sold now or walk on a free next summer? Who knows?
Can't see Matip being sold unless he wants more guaranteed playing time. We have already sold Lovren, so a back up player that knows our system is worth much. If anything we need to find a new senior cb not sell another one.
Apart from those observations I think you might be close to what will actually happen.
Depends on offers. I think if Leeds approached Milner it would be too much of a temptation to end his career at his boyhood club. If the rumours that we are to received 40-50 mil offers for Matip are true - we will bite their hands off. I can't see Wij leaving unless he decides to run his contract down.

I like Matip but I cannot see that bid actually coming from PSG. Surely they would have gone for Koulibaly for around £60m? Cannot see another loan for Ojo. Championship side at best for him. Leeds would have to offer £8m minimum for Milner to go but with us looking actively for LB cover this could be a live one this summer. Woodburn could be same as Ojo. I would keep Shaqiri unless someone offers £20m.
He is still one of my favourite players. I don't know what is wrong with him. Can only be fitness levels really. He is fantastic on his day but I suppose we have other players who can do what he does and more. But £20m and he is gone. There are a few in that category. Wilson, Grujic, Shaqiri. £60m+ of players we would not use. With Covid around selling may be a far better option now than loaning out again and finding their prices dropping due to clubs not having the money.
Loaning out is not going to be an option. Woodburn, Ojo, Karius, Ejaria, Phillips, Kane are not going to make the Liverpool grade. £15m the lot would be good business with sell on clauses attached.
Van den Berg I would like to see at Oxford my other team in League One who are likely to be losing their top CB Rob Dickie to a Championship or even PL club. He needs to be playing against seasoned pros now.
