Wilson, Grujic, Brewster, Origi, Shaqiri, Karius, Awoniyi, Kane, Philips, Millar are all available for permanent transfers. Under the right circumstances, Milner, Ox and even Wijnaldum (if he wants to) are available.
Mane is not going anywhere this summer. Jota will be a squad player initially, but if one of Salah/Mane leaves NEXT summer, Liverpool don't have to be held to ransom when looking for Salah/Mane replacement as Jota would be settled by then. They can then leisurely see who they can buy as a first choice starter next summer.
Newcastle doesn't have the money to even pay for Harry Wilson (14 mil), West Ham have too many wide players being misused by Moyes. There was interest from Sevilla and Lazio earlier.
English football on the brink: Premier League weathering storm of no fans, but lower leagues are in trouble
English football is teetering on the brink of an abyss. By Christmas, some of the game's oldest and best-run clubs could be out of business, driven to extinction by the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. None have yet succumbed to the crisis but don't be fooled into thinking it is a case of "so far, so good."
Alarm bells are beginning to sound up and down the footballing pyramid, all the way from tiny Accrington Stanley to the powerhouse of Manchester United.
"November and December is when it will all start to hit home," Mark Catlin, chief executive of English Football League (EFL) League One Portsmouth, told ESPN. "Clubs won't have cash coming in at that point. They will start to look at their debt mountain and have to make decisions about whether they can go again and continue. If you have no cash and are just accumulating debt every month, that's unsustainable for any business."
Portsmouth, a well-supported club with an average home attendance of 17,800 last season, have not reported a financial loss in seven years, but playing without paying supporters is costing them £700,000-a-month.
"On paper, the profit and loss is horrific," Catlin said. "It's running into millions."
When Liverpool hosted Atletico Madrid in the Champions League at Anfield on March 11, nobody could have envisaged that more than six months later, the game would prove to be the last time any professional club in England would play in front of a full stadium of fans.
Oct. 1 was supposed to be the day when clubs at all levels, from the Premier League giants down to the minnows in EFL League Two, were able to breathe a collective sigh of relief by unlocking their doors for supporters to return, in managed numbers, and start the slow climb back to financial stability. But plans for stadiums to reopen at 30% capacity in the professional game were shelved by the UK government last week, and tougher social-distancing measures were introduced, in an effort to drive down an escalating COVID-19 infection rate amid fears of a second wave during autumn and winter.
The Premier League and EFL have both urged the government to reconsider, insisting it can be done safely, but also warning of disastrous consequences for clubs unable to generate crucial income from fans paying to watch games. But unless the government performs a U-turn, stadiums are likely to remain shut until March and some clubs, quite simply, will be out of business by then.
"We are a very well-run club, with a 113-year history of solvency," David Bottomley, CEO of League One Rochdale told ESPN. "We are solvent now, we don't have a bank overdraft, but even as well-run as we are, we won't be able to get past March without any form of money coming in.
"I spoke to a League Two club last week and they were saying that, following a ring round of clubs in that division, very few believed they would get past the end of November."
Dave Burgess, managing director of League One Accrington Stanley, puts it more bluntly. "If rescue money doesn't come in, football will be on its a---," Burgess told ESPN. "Clubs will closing all over the place."

With this, I suspect Sadio Mane looking for new challenges..

Also he is willing to fight for his place this season.
