# Virals: Liverpool youngster Liam Millar close to permanent departure

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/06/27/virals-virgil-van-dijk-sends-liverpool-fans-crazy-with-social-media-post/) youngster [Liam Millar](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/01/05/liverpool-forward-liam-millar-set-to-join-charlton-athletic-on-loan/) is believed to be nearing a permanent exit from Anfield this summer.

The 21-year-old is expected to join Swiss side, FC Basel, in the coming days after a [loan spell at Charlton Athletic](https://www.cafc.co.uk/news/view/5ff4326d9234d/done-deal-canada-international-liam-millar-joins-on-loan-from-liverpool) in 2020/21.

Millar [scored five times and registered seven assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-millar/leistungsdaten/spieler/487417) whilst with the Addicks and interest was believed to be forthcoming from Championship clubs.

According to a report from the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-striker-transfer-bid-accepted-20910007), as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1408998773783732228) on Twitter, the Canadian forward will join the 20-time Swiss Championship title-winners.

The report claims the Reds rejected an opening bid for the [11-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-millar/nationalmannschaft/spieler/487417/verein_id/3510) senior international and before meeting a seven-figure asking price.

Millar has [appeared just once](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-millar/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/487417) for the first team at Anfield, making a senior debut in the FA Cup replay win over Shrewsbury Town.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Selling off fringe players remains a priority at Liverpool in order to [fund any more spending](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-sell-11-players-millions-20264292) Jurgen Klopp has in mind.

Whilst the sale of the versatile Millar [won’t make waves](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-millar/marktwertverlauf/spieler/487417) in the budget, moving on players of the Canadians ilk is an important part of the summer transfer window.

Next on the agenda could be [finding permanent moves](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/marko-grujic-liverpool-transfer-talks-20375992) for Marko Grujic, Harry Wilson and Neco Williams.
