Liverpool are expected to make major moves in the summer transfer window — and dipping into the free-agent market could be a smart way to save funds while reinforcing key areas.
Here are five players linked with Liverpool who are set to be available for free this summer:
—
**1. Leroy Sané (Winger, Bayern Munich)**
With Mohamed Salah potentially leaving Anfield, Liverpool are eyeing Sané as a possible replacement. The 29-year-old Germany international is out of contract at Bayern Munich and has yet to agree a renewal.
Sané is a left-footed winger who plays on the right — much like Salah — and has Premier League experience from his four years at Manchester City, where he scored 39 goals and assisted 43 in 135 appearances. He recently hinted at being open to a Premier League return if the right opportunity arises.

**2. Jonathan David (Striker, Lille)**
With Liverpool looking to upgrade their attacking options beyond Darwin Núñez, Jonathan David is a strong candidate. The Canadian international has had a standout season with 23 goals, including 9 in the Champions League.
David’s contract expires this summer, and although Liverpool are also linked to Alexander Isak, David offers a top-tier option without the £120m price tag.

**3. Ángel Gomes (Midfielder, Lille)**
Formerly of Manchester United, Gomes has developed into one of Ligue 1’s most consistent midfielders at Lille. Now 24, he’s equally effective as a playmaker or a deeper-lying midfielder and finished last season as one of the league’s top assist providers.
Liverpool scouts have reportedly monitored him closely. He’s rejected a £100k-per-week offer from West Ham and could leave Lille on a free this summer.

**4. [Van Dijk Replacement – Name Not Listed in Snippet]**
While not directly named in the provided content, the article suggests Liverpool are preparing for life after Virgil van Dijk and are monitoring free-agent defenders accordingly.
—
**5. [Additional Free Agent – Likely in Defensive or Midfield Role]**
Again, specific names weren’t included in the provided section, but Liverpool’s focus on cost-effective reinforcements likely includes players who can bring experience and versatility without a transfer fee.

**Summary:**
Liverpool could land top talent like Sané, David, and Gomes without spending on transfer fees, which would help free up funds for other high-priority positions. With key players potentially leaving, the free-agent market might be a crucial part of Arne Slot’s summer rebuild.
