Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp looks set to oversee a squad overhaul this summer at Anfield – with both outgoings and incomings on the cards.
Having completed the signing of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig already, the Reds will be in the market for a midfielder and at least one additional forward option.
Those arrivals may have to wait however until some of the stars on the fringes of the squad can be moved on permanently.
According to a report from A Bola, as cited by Watch LFC on Twitter, midfielder Marko Grujic could set the departures in motion after a bid from Hertha Berlin arrived.

The €13million (£11million) offer would represent a profit of around £5million on the Serbian signed from Red Star Belgrade back in 2016 (Transfermarkt).
Since becoming a Red when arriving as Klopp’s first signing, the 25-year-old has made just 16 appearances for the club – spending time away on various loan moves.
During a season-loan spell with FC Porto in 2020/21, Grujic scored three times in 41 outings in Portugal.

Selling squad players is a must this summer if Klopp is going to be allowed the funds to suitably improve the first-team options.
Despite holding ability, the likes of Grujic, Harry Wilson, Divock Origi, Loris Karius and Taiwo Awoniyi are must sales.
In the past Liverpool transfer chief Michael Edwards has been credited with landing the best possible fee from each and every deal – a skill that will be tested if the club are going to thrive in this window.
