Liverpool willing to let Klavan leave the club

Liverpool could listen to potential offers for out of favour defender Ragnar Klavan this summer, according to a report from Goal.

The Estonian centre-back has fallen down the pecking order of defenders at Anfield and it seems he has been deemed as surplus to Jurgen Klopp’s requirements for the 2018/19 campaign.

Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren appear to have established themselves as the first-choice central defenders, with Joe Gomez and Joel Matip also providing Klopp with a pool of high-quality options.

This appears to have indicated that Klavan’s short tenure on Merseyside may be brought to an end before the end of August, with clubs from abroad still able to recruit players from English sides.

The 32-year-old defender is likely to be one of several fringe players on their way out of Anfield before the end of the European transfer window, with Simon Mignolet, Divock Origi and others linked with respective exits from the club.
