adminLONDON. – Liverpool face a major rebuilding job this summer following a mass exit from Anfield. Manager Brendan Rodgers, who has suffered another trophyless season after the shock FA Cup semi-final defeat by Aston Villa, could see up to 10 of his stars leave. Captain Steven Gerrard has already agreed to join MLS side LA Galaxy, while defender Glen Johnson is out of contract and set to go on a free transfer. Kolo Toure is also out of contract and considering whether to accept the offer of a new deal.
Raheem Sterling is embroiled in a contract stand-off with Manchester City certain to make an offer and Juventus the latest big European club linked with him.
Defender Martin Skrtel’s future is also unclear as he is yet to agree a new contract with Wolfsburg planning a move for him.
Right-back Javi Manquillo is set to return to Spain after failing to make an impact while Mario Balotelli’s £16 million switch from AC Milan has been a disaster. Liverpool will listen to offers for him, although getting rid of a man on £90 000 per week will be easier said than done.
Balotelli’s fellow strikers Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert could also depart.
Finally, Liverpool are looking for a goalkeeper to replace or put pressure on Simon Mignolet, meaning Brad Jones is the 10th name who would be surplus to requirements.- Mailonline.
