Liverpool have been enduring a turbulent campaign in the Premier League
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may axe up to 13 players in the summer
The Daily Express predicts that manager Jurgen Klopp may have to wield the axe on several players to raise funds for reinforcement, especially if the Merseysiders miss out on Champions League cash.
Liverpool may start by letting go of players whose contracts run out in June.
Adrian, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Roberto Firmino could all leave.
Arthur is highly likely to return to Juventus after an unsuccessful loan stint at Anfield.
Caoimhen Kelleher, Sepp van den Berg, Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips could all find themselves on the chopping block as well after failing to earn first-team opportunities.
Joel Matip has struggled for fitness in the last 18 months and may have to make way if Klopp is able to get an upgrade at centre-back.
The same goes for Kostas Tsimikas, even though the left-back has shone bright while deputising for Andy Robertson.
James Milner and Joe Gomez help Liverpool meet the criteria for homegrown players in their Premier League and European squads.
But both of them could be on the way out, especially Milner whose deal comes to an end in June.
Liverpool are currently eighth in the Premier League table with 12 points separating them from fourth place.
The Reds are facing immense competition for Champions League qualification with the likes of Newcastle and Manchester United also making a strong case.
