Liverpool is considering sales of Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa as part of their summer rebuild under new manager Andoni Iraola. Reports indicate that Elliott's return from a loan at Aston Villa did not impress, while Chiesa's ongoing injury issues have limited his contributions. Both players are seen as potential departures to help fund acquisitions necessary for the club's transformation. Liverpool's management aims to create a squad that fits Iraola's vision centered on physicality and pressing, requiring difficult choices regarding fan-favorite players. Generating around £40 million from sales could help pave the way for new signings and enhance team competitiveness in the Premier League and Champions League.
