The four Liverpool players currently set to leave for free in the summer

Liverpool fans form a uniquely personal connection to all of their players, from the least used squad player to the week-in-week-out Premier League starter.

But that makes it even harder to say goodbye to them when they leave and it seems four could depart in the summer due to their contracts expiring.

While Liverpool are not known for extensive spending or squad rebuilds, they will likely need to make some foray into the transfer market to replace the players who depart for free.

So here are the four players who have expiring Liverpool contracts, and what their potential future could look like.

It will be a sad day for all Liverpool fans, but the nonchalant genius Origi looks to be leaving Anfield at the end of the season.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that the striker is likely to sign for Serie A side AC Milan, where he’ll get more first-team opportunities.

But what a time he’s had in Merseyside. For a time he was Klopp’s go-to big match-winner, and thanks to his late goal against Everton, the historic “corner taken quickly” moment, and his Champions League final goal, he became a true Kop cult hero.

“Divock Origi is an incredible football player,” Jurgen Klopp said earlier in the 2021-2022 season. “He is great in these moments, he doesn’t need a lot of run-up or time to find into a game.

“When Div scores the goal it makes it even better, to be honest.”

So here’s to Origi. Enjoy Milan, even if the weather isn’t as good as it is in the North West of England…

That finish. Those angles. The reaction.
