Yep. The World Cup is 10 months away and if he wants to be in that squad he needs to leave Liverpool.

I just struggle to see Matip as a good candidate here - I think we'd struggle to get 20M for him - unless we forsee his fitness is going to go downhill badly and quickly and / or he's going to command really high wages well into his 30s that he won't justify.
If we take each part of the team as a separate unit, the age profile of the defence is actually not too bad.
GK: Alisson (29), Kelleher (23)
CB: VVD (30), Matip (30), Konate (22), Gomez (25)
FB: TAA (23), Robertson (27), Tsimikas (25)
It's midfield and attack that we have problems maginfied by the fact that our squad / bench players are crap.
Midfield: Henderson (31), Thiago (30), Fabinho (28), Keita (45), Milner (36), Jones (20), Elliot (18)
Attack: Firmino (30), Salah (30), Mane (29), Jota (25)
The first thing we need to do is get rid of the dead wood such as Ox and Origi. Milner should roll off the wage books in the summer and we could potentially look at selling Keita on along with other fringe players.
That should give us some money to play with. It's not going to be enough but there is no way we'll be able to plug all the holes in the squad just by sales... even if we sold someone like Salah.
I feel like if we have a more effective attacker, one more Jota, in place of Minamino and Origi, and one reliable and top-quality midfielder in place of Ox and Keita, our squad would look far stronger assuming the rest remain. I know we need more, but I am talking bare minimum.
My biggest concern is how would the rest of the attackers fare across a campaign when the opposition defense no longer has to worry about the Salah-shaped threat.
I’d add a suitable right back like in the mould of tsimikas.

The Sheffield United boss stressed that Williams is the Reds’ player and there was nothing the Blades could do about it and thus they have moved on.
“As far as we know he’s not available as it stands”, Heckingbottom said in a press conference.
“He’s Liverpool’s player and we just have to keep monitoring lots of players who we think could come in and do a good job for us.
“There are a lot of players out there but we have to be clear of the role we want them to perform.”

So Rhys is not going to get loaned out again. Does this mean that we want to keep him around in case Joe Goez? Or maybe Nat?

It would be £75,000 toward it, Milner another £140,000 and the Ox another £120,000 that's just wages a week
Salah's on £200,000 and wants £400,000
I just found £335,000 a week
At present it is VVD who is the top earner on £220,000 Pre Week
Crikey - no fee even though he had 6 months to go!
Bloody hell, is Milner really on that much money?
This one is more up to date than the one I quoted from
https://lfcglobe.co.uk/liverpool-fc-players-wages-contract-details/
Here Gomez is on £90,000 The Ox and Milner are the same
So new total save in wages £350,000 Per Week

Yeah but Milner is a 36 year old squad player, no way should he be getting that. Is he really going to go to another club and get a better deal? I sincerely doubt it
I’d imagine Milner was able to negotiate a high salary on account if he came on a free and had a substantial salary offer on the table from City to stay at the time - then his deal would have likely been extended, short term, on the same deal.
I can’t see us extending it at the end of the season - he must be thinking about retiring now.
Although…. Isn’t Ronaldo older?

Did you say Social Media?
I thought it was a joke until I googled it.
He'd be a smart signing for them honestly, I'm still baffled to how he's fallen so far down the peaking order here, but if he's really not going to reclaim his place, we'd be mad not to try take advantage of the Newcastle situation. He's young, experienced, a premier league and champions league winning defender, we are well within our rights to demand a lot of money from Newcastle, and they're able to pay it.
Yeah when I meant market rate, meant in general and not specific to Milner. I assume his 120k was probably more down to extending what he was on previously then any increments.
It’s his last contract with us so I don’t think I would particularly look at Milner. He’s probably a unique case. In general though, Milner has been amazing free transfer, just wish he came could have a season earlier.

[article]according to Daily Mail journalist Tom Collomosse, Gomez’s fall down the ranks could see Aston Villa pounce.
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Collomosse reckons a Gomez switch to Villa will be reignited in the summer after tenative links were reported in January. The journalist stated signing a “top class” centre-half is a priority for the club, and Gomez is one to “keep an eye on”.
“I think he looks like that ideal type of player to go into somewhere like Villa at the end of the season,” said Collomosse.
“They’re looking for a top class centre-back and although he’s still improving in some ways, Joe Gomez is an England international, Premier League champion and played in the best competitions.
“I think that’s definitely one to keep an eye on for the summer.”[/article]
