Klopp single-handedly built Liverpool's current squad, with Mane and Salah being the two jewels in the crown. Previously, Liverpool have won the Champions League and the Premier League, and the "Red Arrows" and Van Dijk are the players who have contributed the most. However, Salah and Mane are both approaching 30 years old, and with a proactive approach, Liverpool need to gradually move forward with a change of squad, and the arrival of Jota and Luis Díaz is what the club is preparing for.

Liverpool could release several of their main players in the summer, with mane and Salah's future uncertain. So far, Salah has scored 20 league goals and Mane has scored 12, temporarily ranking the top two in the Premier League top scorers list. Both of their contracts expire in June 2023 and Liverpool are in talks with Salah on a contract extension, but so far little progress has been made.

In December, Liverpool made a proposal to renew his contract, which Salah did not agree to, and the two sides have not been in contact since then. Sources say Salah insists on a £400,000 weekly salary, a condition that Liverpool will struggle to afford. If no agreement can be reached, the Egyptian superstars will not even rule out moving to another Premier League team, such as Manchester City.

In contrast, Mane has been snubbed, and Liverpool have not moved at all, seemingly with no intention of renewing their contract with the Senegalese superstar. Mane's goal numbers are slightly inferior to Salah's, but he has scored a lot of key goals, which are of great importance. If Liverpool don't stay and Mane wants to go to Real Madrid, he is relatively more likely to leave the team than Salah.

In addition, Firmino's contract also has 16 months to expire, and under the impact of Jota, the former has in fact lost its main position. Firmino's tactical role is strong, and Klopp hopes to keep the Brazilian shooter, but it will be difficult to stay in the team if he does not accept a salary cut.

Similarly, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita's contracts expire at 16 months, both of whom are rotating players and less important. This season, Naby Keita has played slightly more time than Chamberlain, and the two have not performed much better, basically qualified by the standards of rotating players. Neither of them has a low salary and liverpool will consider releasing them if they receive a satisfactory offer.
