We know already Origi will be off as his contract ends.
Milner contract ends as well unless he signs an extension.
I wouldn't be unhappy if we off loaded the following.
The Ox - never really done it for us. Gomez - another who doesn't seem to be the class required for us.
I can see Mane going if we get offered over 60million.
I would personally keep Minnie and Keita.

I would let Milner go, just because of his high wages, if he took a decent pay cut as like a player/coach I would keep him for his occasional appearances late on in games and what he brings to the dressing room.
I would let Origi leave, he is going anyways as he is out of contract.
I would keep Gomez, he had a bad injury and will take time, a few years ago he looked great. Matip only has a few seasons in him, and you know he will get injuries, Matip has done really well and not been out much this season (though he is out tomorrow).
The MF depends on who we bring in, if we get another decent MF I would let OX leave, I still think he has potential, but he just doesn't suit coming in and out the team. Same with Keita, good player but up and down, so if we get a decent offer, I would move him on.
I would try and keep the front 3 of Salah, Mane & Firmino, but I can see Mane wanting to leave, he doesn't look happy being a sub and not a first team guaranteed starter, I guess it depends what bids we get. I cannot see us bringing in another forward after Diaz arrived, unless a big name leaves, I would like to give Takki a good chance, he has looked good when he has played.

One of the reasons we have done well this season so far is that we have a stronger squad that I remember us having before, so we can rotate first team players and not have the huge drop off in quality we have seen in previous seasons, so I do not think we need wholesale changes to the squad.

OX needs to go
The rest I'd give it another season, however Diaz was brought in to replace somebody? I'm now leaning towards Mane being sold because I believe he would cause us the most problems if Salah gets the contract that's being touted. Mane would want the same as Salah and it could get fractious fairly quickly.

Agree with Pickles and others ref Ox - he just looks totally lost in games, its like playing with 10 men.
I read in some other forums that Mane's future was in doubt and Diaz was bought to replace him, however when moved to the centre of the attack he has scored 4 goals in 6 games, this has surprised Klopp apparently, and he now sees Mane as possibly the central striker and/or false 9 and it looks like Firmino could be on his way
This is obviously all hearsay and supposition and begs the question what about Jota - he is a more natural finisher than Mane and Diaz at present
Will be an interesting summer transfer wise I think

Will be an interesting summer transfer wise I think Ox should go, Origi will go and probably Gomez. I think we need to buy a better RB and move TAA to the midfield. If only this happens I would be happy, but if Firmino goes, we will need to buy a CF, hopefully a genuine one, let's say Lewandowski if we cannot afford Haaland

These conversations always seem to be "We don't have enough players and depth" then "Uh we have too many players and they aren't happy" and last season it was "uuhh why don't we have 10 CB's"
I quite like the squad as it is. I wouldn't want to see any of our main players leaving.
I think Divok could certainly go now Diaz is here. Mina is 50-50 while he won't get an awful lot of game times he was crucial in the carabao cup and what do you need when you are challenging on 4 frotns.... actual squad players.
Do we have enough players or not enough? Please make your minds up and don't pretend like we could swap a perfectly valuable squad player like Ox for De Bryne.

Move our WC right back into midfield for a worse RB? Change our entire system of playing from our full backs which has given us our best ever points total for the last 4 years. What crack are you on.
