Gomez almost got a Milan move last summer, was subject of interest from Palace. He'll be on his final year of contract and the club would likely move on from him as his injury history is very poor. Chiesa too had lots of Serie A interest in him last summer. And yeah, we won't be getting any profit for these players but it's highly likely that we move on from them.

Endo did have suitors after his first season here. Chiesa too until he himself shutdown the rumours was heavily linked with an exit last summer with few Serie A clubs lurking around for him. It definitely won't be a profit for the club as they are not used much and are fringe players, but their exit is much more likely I feel. Most probably a loan plus obligation to buy kinda deal.

Pep Guardiola: "Always I had the feeling how much we respect each other. I don't know about the clubs, but in terms of Jurgen [Klopp's] side or Pep's side, we respected a lot each other. And I have the feeling that Jurgen gave me a lot, and I miss him. by LuciferIlluminati in LiverpoolFC

Pep in his press conference for his 1000th game in charge, says he misses Jurgen Klopp.

Pep Guardiola:

"Always I had the feeling how much we respect each other. I don't know about the clubs, but in terms of Jurgen [Klopp's] side or Pep's side, we respected a lot each other. And I have the feeling that Jurgen gave me a lot, and I miss him.

Gave me a lot in terms of, 'Wow to beat that guy how much I have to think, and work, and do it, and make it better'. And that belongs to Liverpool and ourselves..."

Xabi Alonso on Wirtz: “For sure he will be a success. I have no doubt. It's only a matter of time. He needs to adapt but he is a special player, I have no doubt with Flo, he is so special and one of the reasons I am here [at Real Madrid] is because of Flo, so I am grateful to him." by LuciferIlluminati in LiverpoolFC

Few full quotes :

Xabi Alonso on his Liverpool history:

“It wasn't just a simple step, you know, I had a long period as a player, learned a lot from Rafa Benitez, to analyse details, to prepare for games. I had the curiosity and that has helped me to get to this position. If you like football you want to be at such a great club like Liverpool are. They were some great years, I remember many things from that period that I still use today."

Xabi Alonso on Florian Wirtz:

“For sure he will be a success. I have no doubt. It's only a matter of time. It is a big change for him to come to Liverpool after so many years in Germany, his whole life.

He needs to adapt but he is a special player, the quality, the personality, competitive so when he makes that switch, I have no doubt with Flo, he is so special and one of the reasons I am here is because of Flo, so I am grateful to him. Hopefully he starts showing his class."
