Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed the club must raise funds through player sales before making any new signings this summer. After spending a record £446.5m last season, Liverpool face another rebuilding period with Mohamed Salah and Andrew Robertson departing on free transfers. The Dutchman acknowledged this model means Liverpool typically must sell before they can buy.

Slot's comments come amid uncertainty surrounding his own future, with Jamie Carragher suggesting failure to secure Champions League qualification could end his reign. Liverpool currently sit fifth, four points above Chelsea, but have won only one of their last four Premier League games. The defender also highlighted concerns about Konate's contract situation, which expires next year.

Many of last summer's recruits have struggled for form and fitness, adding pressure to the summer rebuild. Carragher has criticized Liverpool's inability to handle set-pieces, counter-attacks, and low blocks in the Premier League. Liverpool face Everton in Sunday's Merseyside derby with the Champions League qualification race intensifying and Slot's future hanging in the balance.
