Liverpool Do Rejuvenation

JAKARTA - Liverpool seem very serious in fixing the team's strength in facing the English Premier League next season. The rejuvenation will be carried out by the Merseyside-based team.

Liverpool announced that they would release four of their senior players. They are James Milner, Roberto Firmino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

The four of them will be released at the end of this season when their contracts expire.

"The four players will start a new chapter in their careers after the end of the 2022-23 season, after helping the Reds lift a number of football's biggest titles during their tenure at Anfield," Liverpool wrote on the club's official website.

The four players played an important role when Liverpool won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2019 before bringing the Reds squad to their first 30-year Premier League title in the 2029/20 season.

Milner and Firmino joined the Reds in June 2015, while Oxlade-Chamberlain arrived in June 2017 before Naby Keita joined the following summer.

Liverpool will certainly give their farewells during their last home game of the season.

"Aston Villa's visit on Saturday is the last home game of the Reds, special thanks will be given to the four players at Anfield. We wish Roberto, Naby, James, Alex and their families in the future," the statement continued., as reported by Antara.

The decision to release the four players indicates that coach Jurgen Klopp wants to refresh his squad that ended the season without a title.

Klopp is now reportedly eyeing Brighton midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and Chelsea player Mason Mount.
