Seven players, including striker Divock Origi, will not be part of Liverpool’s set up next season, the club has announced.
The club said the affected players will leave Liverpool when their contracts expire at the end of this month
Goalkeeper Loris Karius and former first-team players Sheyi Ojo and Ben Woodburn have also been released, along with three members of the club’s academy.
Origi spent eight years at Merseyside and sealed the Reds’ astonishing second-leg comeback to sink Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2019.
Announcing the Belgian’s departure, Liverpool wrote, “Divock Origi will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June.
“Thank you for an incredible eight years of service and leaving us with so many special memories. [Divock Origi], Liverpool legend.”
Karius became a villain at the club after his disastrous error-ridden performance in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid, he spent much of his subsequent Anfield career on loan.
Ojo made 13 senior appearances, scoring in the FA Cup win over Exeter.
Woodburn became the club’s youngest goalscorer — a title he still holds — when he scored in the League Cup match against Leeds United at the age of 17.
