In little over two weeks, a number of Liverpool’s soon-to-be out of contract stars will have entered the final six months of their deals and be left free to discuss terms with overseas clubs.
Plenty has been said about Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita ’s futures, with reports suggesting the Brazilian could be offered a new deal while the Guinean, following an injury-wrecked first half of the season, is facing a make or break six months if he wishes to stay at Anfield. Meanwhile, decisions regarding veterans James Milner and Adrian will perhaps again be left until the summer.
But it has just been assumed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be departing on a Bosman transfer come the end of the season when his own deal expires. In truth, anything else at this point would be a surprise.
