Tyler Morton**, *Nat Phillips*, and *Rhys Williams*—are expected to leave the club in pursuit of new opportunities, as Liverpool look to streamline the squad ahead of the pre-season under new head coach *Arne Slot*.
None of the trio played a role in Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning season, and with Slot beginning to shape his squad, quick decisions are being made. Pearce suggests the players are “set to depart in search of a fresh challenge,” a move that appears justified.
Morton had minimal impact last season, struggling for minutes, while Phillips and Williams both spent time on loan but failed to consistently impress.
More exits could follow.
Caoimhin Kelleher has completed a move to Brentford, with Liverpool accepting a relatively modest fee for the goalkeeper. Kostas Tsimikas is also tipped to leave, having fallen down the pecking order in defense.
These exits reflect a wider squad overhaul, potentially to create room for new arrivals. Notably, Liverpool remain interested in Florian Wirtz, although a second offer has reportedly been turned down. According to Christian Falk, Wirtz even underwent a private medical in Cologne, fueling rumors of an impending transfer.
As Liverpool gear up for an active transfer window, offloading players and reducing the wage bill appears to be a central part of their strategy
