Liverpool need to sell before buying this summer, says Arne Slot as pressure mounts after Champions League exit

Arne Slot says Liverpool will need to raise funds through sales before they can make any new signings this summer.

Liverpool spent a record £446.5m last summer but a difficult season has shown the need to continue the rebuild, with Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson set to leave on free transfers and Hugo Ekitike feared to have suffered a serious injury.

The club funded last summer's spending by selling a string of players including Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Ben Gannon Doak and Tyler Morton.

And with many of last summer's recruits, including Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, having struggled for form and fitness, Slot says more players will need to be sold to fund any new additions.
