Two Liverpool players are in line to leave the club this summer, while Adrien Rabiot’s chances of joining the Reds have been assessed.

Williams & Koumetio likely to leave

According to The Athletic‘s James Pearce, Liverpool pair Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio could both leave the club before next season gets underway.

The centre-back duo are weighing up interest from numerous clubs, with Williams wanted by clubs in League One as well as in Turkiye.

Meanwhile, Koumetio could move to Scotland or France ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, with his last Reds appearance coming back in December 2021.

Dundee United had been credited with an interest in the Frenchman, though that has since been played down.

It feels like the right time for both players to leave Liverpool, with their first-team chances slim to none.
