It has largely been a season to forget for Liverpool and this summer promises to be one of change as they look to regroup ahead of the next campaign.


Four big-name members of the first team have already been confirmed to be on their way out.


Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita, James Milner and Roberto Firmino will all leave Anfield this summer under freedom of contract.


The club released a statement confirming the news on Wednesday.


"We can confirm Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will leave the club upon the expiry of their contracts this summer," read a statement on the official Liverpool Twitter account.


"Special acknowledgements will be paid to the quartet at Anfield, with further tributes to follow at the end of the season."


A place in Reds history

All four players will no doubt be fondly remembered by fans for the roles they played in a successful period under Jurgen Klopp.


They were all part of the squad that won the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup in 2019.


Then, in 2019/20, they helped Liverpool win their first Premier League title for 30 years, as they totalled an impressive 99 points.


Last season, the team won the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.


Special tributes

A longer statement on the official Liverpool website went on to indicate that time would be taken at the end of Saturday's game against Aston Villa - the Reds' final home game of the season - to pay tribute to the quartet.


"With the visit of Aston Villa on Saturday being the Reds' final home fixture of the campaign," the statement read, "special acknowledgements will be paid to the quartet at Anfield, with further tributes to follow across the club's digital platforms after the end of the season as we wish Roberto, Naby, James, Alex and their families the very best for the future."
