Don't think him (or Kane for that matter) will be game changers the way say a Harland or Mbappe would have been. Don't get me wrong Grealish is a good player but so are the likes of De Bruyne, Foden, Sterling, Mahrez, Bernardo-Silva etc who he'll be competing with for a shirt. Easy to forget now but Mahrez basically led Leicester to the title.
Grealish will end up as a £100m squad player imo.
What is the plan with Ben Davies? Will they loan/sell him and sell Nat Phillips too? Seems like that would leave us short on centre-backs again. (Mike E)
Now Van Dijk and Gomez are back, Liverpool are prepared to let Davies leave. Last week they rejected an initial loan offer from Sheffield United, who wanted an option to buy him next summer. He’s also attracting interest from Celtic and Bournemouth.
As for Phillips, he’s available for around £12 million to £15 million. There have been plenty of enquiries but no firm offers to my knowledge. Burnley, Brighton, Newcastle and Southampton have all been in contact. If there’s an offer in the coming weeks which is right for the club and right for the player, Liverpool won’t stand in his way. If not, Klopp will happily keep him as back-up.
Personally, I’d like to see Phillips stay put but, if not, Klopp still has Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio as well as his four frontline senior centre-backs which should be sufficient.
Is the Wolves offer for Origi real or made up by internet ITKs? (Aman S)
In 2019 Origi signed a new long-term contract. Do you know how long it is and how would that influence the club’s valuation? (Ching Yat C)
Any update on Shaqiri and Origi potentially leaving? (Calum)
I was told this week that talk of Wolves bidding £10 million for Origi was utter nonsense. He’s someone they have pursued previously but there’s been no recent approach. Wolves actually agreed a £22 million fee with Liverpool in 2018 but the player didn’t want to go there. Origi’s current deal runs until 2024. Liverpool are open to offers. Back in January they were after £20 million for the Belgium international but I think they would take £15 million now.
Xherdan Shaqiri is keen to leave and Liverpool will grant him his wish if they get a suitable offer. He’s valued at around £12 million. Lazio and Napoli are keen and Michael Edwards has also previously fielded interest from Sevilla and Villarreal.

None of the kids look ready to play 5-10 premier league games on the bounce if needed either.
By getting rid of players and not replacing them we are just weakening ourselves.
