Six Liverpool players have reportedly been placed on the chopping block ahead of the summer with Jurgen Klopp expected to shuffle his pack in order to keep The Reds competitive – and supporters have reacted on Twitter to Naby Keita’s inclusion.

Liverpool could sell six players, with Nathaniel Clyne likely to leave for nothing as his contract expires in June. Though Clyne has returned to full fitness, he is likely to depart in order to freshen up his stagnating career.

Loris Karius is coming to the end of his two-year loan spell at Besiktas and has struggled in Turkey. With the SuperLig side currently facing difficult financial times, a permanent deal looks unlikely and he will return ‘surplus to requirements’.

Karius and Clyne are hardly a surprise, and neither is Dejan Lovren’s inclusion. This week, he has been linked with Lazio, Tottenham, Arsenal, AC Milan and Lyon –

Xherdan Shaqiri has struggled with injuries and game time this season and he too is on the list, as is Liverpool hero Divock Origi despite his scoring twice in last season’s Champions League semi-final – and then in the final against Tottenham.

But the most surprising one if former RB Leipzig midfielder Keita. The £52.75million () signing is one of six players who could leave as per The Mirror, and Reds fans have reacted on Twitter to the doubts over his future.

Supporters were asked by well-renowned site Empire of the Kop if they would sell Keita, 25, and the reaction was mixed.
