Luis Alberto is set to join the Anfield exodus as Jurgen Klopp trims his Liverpool squad ahead of the new season.

The Spanish midfielder has been left out of the Reds’ opening two friendlies of the summer with a view to off-loading him.

Alberto doesn’t feature in Klopp’s plans and Liverpool are hoping to bank a fee of around £7million.

There has been plenty of interest in the 23-year-old, who enjoyed an impressive season-long loan at Deportivo La Coruna.

Sevilla, who sold him to Liverpool for £6.8million three years ago, are the front-runners for his signature but no deal is yet in place.

Alberto hasn’t played competitively for Liverpool since the 4-0 rout of Everton in January 2014. On loan at Malaga in 2014/15, he spent last season at Deportivo, scoring six goals and providing seven assists in 29 appearances in La Liga.

Long-serving defender Martin Skrtel has completed his £5.5million move to Fenerbahce. The Slovakia international made 320 appearances during an eight-year spell with the Reds.

Jordon Ibe’s £15million switch to Bournemouth is on the brink of completion. The winger has agreed personal terms and undergone a medical on the South Coast before flying out to America with the Cherries on their pre-season tour.

Liverpool negotiated both buy-back and sell-on clauses in the deal for Ibe.

Sergi Canos joined Norwich City for an initial fee of £2.5million earlier this week, while Liverpool are also looking to sell strike duo Mario Balotelli and Christian Benteke.
