The futures of our prestigious front-three, Bobby Firmino, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, also remain up in the air, with further talks due to take place after the Champions League final.
Having contributed so much to our recent fortunes under Jurgen Klopp, there can be no complaints about the 27-year-old’s decision to part ways with the club at the end of the season in search of regular minutes.
From frustrating Everton in extra-time to registering crucial goals in the Champions League knockout stages, the former Lille hitman has been utterly invaluable when called upon.
It should certainly raise questions around how we propose to replace his contributions from the bench, with Taki Minamino potentially signposting his availability for the role in our 2-1 win over Southampton in mid-May.
