Jurgen Klopp to cut down Liverpool squad due to having 'too many' players

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hints that he will trim the squad by selling a handful of players this summer.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that there will be a handful of outgoings in the transfer window as he has too many players in the squad.

The Reds have made four signings, including Marko Grujic, Joel Matip, Loris Karius and Sadio Mane, under Klopp.

Kolo Toure, Jerome Sinclair, Jordan Rossiter and Jose Enrique have left the Merseyside club, and there are doubts over the futures of Jordon Ibe, Joe Allen, Martin Skrtel and Christian Benteke.

On Friday, Klopp used 22 players in a 1-0 friendly win over Tranmere Rovers, but Ibe and Mario Balotelli were absent.

"All the players who came back from loans are in the squad for the moment, but we have to see," the Liverpool Echo quotes Klopp as saying.

"My job is to give them the best training that I can, and at the end we have to make decisions. We have 38 players at the moment, and that is 100% too much.

"We have to take some decisions, but you can be sure that if a team takes a player from us, they will have had two or three weeks of really hard and intensive training in their legs, and are as fit as they possibly can be."

Meanwhile, Klopp has signed a new six-year contract at Liverpool, just nine months after he was appointed as Brendan Rodgers's successor.
