This summer marks a significant change for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp will not be at the helm after nearly nine years. With Klopp’s departure, along with key members of his backroom staff such as Vitor Matos, Peter Krawietz, and Pep Lijnders, the upcoming transfer window is expected to be intriguing.
Last year, the departure of several players from Klopp’s old guard was tumultuous, and a similar scenario may unfold this summer. It is not only the coaches who might leave, as some players at Anfield could potentially be in their last season with the club.
For instance, players like Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara, whose contracts are expiring, are unlikely to have their deals renewed. Consequently, Liverpool may bid farewell to experienced senior players.
As Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, and the return of Michael Edwards, Liverpool’s focus may shift towards charting a different path following the Klopp era.
This transition could also prompt others within the club to seek their respective new directions.
