Clear out to begin

Salif Diao, Bruno Cheyrou and Anthony Le Tallec have spent all season out on loan and won't be returning to the Liverpool squad next season. Chris Kirkland returns to Anfield once West Brom have played their final Premiership game next week but the club will listen to offers for the injury prone goalkeeper.

Defenders Zak Whitbread and David Raven are also likely to leave the club to get regular first team football. Whitbread is likely to join Millwall where he has spent the past six months on loan and Raven could permanently join Tranmere after impressing during his loan move with the League One side.

First team squad members Djibril Cisse, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Neil Mellor and Djimi Traore are also likely to be let go if the club get decent offers for them.
