With the football season currently shut down to the coronavirus pandemic, we're taking a look back at all the players brought in by Liverpool managers in recent years.

Brendan Rodgers became Liverpool manager in the summer of 2012, arriving from Swansea City who he had led into the Premier League to take over from Anfield icon, Kenny Dalglish.

The Northern Irishman came within a whisker of leading the Reds to a league title win in 2013/14 when his side just two points behind Manchester City after a remarkable campaign.

Rodgers made 33 signings during his Liverpool reign - here is what happened to each and every one of them:

Fabio Borini

Scored just three goals for Liverpool in an underwhelming spell. Now appears fleetingly for Serie A side AC Milan.

Joe Allen

Played a part for Jurgen Klopp in the German boss' first season at Anfield before moving to Stoke. He suffered relegation with them last season and now plies his trade in the Championship with the Potters.

Oussama Assaidi

One of the stranger signings under Rodgers, the Moroccan winger headed to Dubai for two years, and is currently a free agent.

Nuri Sahin

Sahin eventually moved back to Borussia Dortmund following his short-term loan spell, and remains in the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen.

Samed Yesil

After two first-team appearances in four years, he left Anfield for FC Luzern in Switzerland. He joined German side KFC Uerdingen 05 last summer but was released in July. Yesil remains a free agent.

Daniel Sturridge

The striker scored 67 goals in 145 games for Liverpool and helped the club lift their sixth Champions League title in June. After being released, he joined Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor but is yet to find the back of the net for his new employers.

Philippe Coutinho

Served Liverpool with distinction for five years before leaving for Barcelona in a big-money move in January 2018. Now on loan at Bayern Munich after struggling in La Liga.

Luis Alberto

The Spaniard struggled to make an impact at Anfield, but has since become one of Serie A's most creative midfielders with Lazio.

Iago Aspas

A meteoric rise since departing Merseyside, culminating in a place in Spain's World Cup squad last summer. Has scored 88 goals in 155 appearances since returning to Celta Vigo.

Simon Mignolet

Departed Liverpool in the summer searching for first-team football. He joined Club Brugge in his home country of Belgium following a six-year association with the Reds.

Kolo Toure

A cult hero with the Kop, the Ivorian departed in 2016 to reunite with Rodgers at Celtic. He's now Rodgers' first-team coach at Leicester.

Aly Cissokho

A loanee during that famous 2013/14 season, he's had spells at Porto, Aston Villa and Olympiakos before moving to Turkey. Now features for top-flight side Antalyaspor.

Mamadou Sakho

The French defender fell out with Klopp due to his unprofessional conduct during the summer tour of the United States in 2016. Eventually moved to Crystal Palace in a £27million, where he now remains.

Tiago Ilori

The centre-back was always talked up as a real prospect but eventually ended up in the Championship with Reading. Earned a winter move to Sporting Lisbon in January.

Victor Moses

A loanee winger at Liverpool, he would lift the Premier League title with Chelsea as a wing-back. Currently on loan at Fenerbahce.

Rickie Lambert

The boyhood Liverpool fan never managed to score in front of the Kop, regrettably. The striker had spells at West Brom and Cardiff before retiring in 2017.

Adam Lallana

Lallana struggled to establish himself in the front three under Rodgers, but has been a trusted on-field lieutenant for Klopp and remains at Anfield today.

Emre Can

Received most of his playing time as a centre-back in his first season under Rodgers. Played a big part of Klopp's formative Liverpool, the German midfielder left the club on a free transfer to move to Juventus in 2018.

Kevin Stewart

Signed from Tottenham on a free and served as back-up in Klopp's first season. Moved to Hull City, where he features under Grant McCann.

Lazar Markovic

A £20m signing from Benfica. Wasn't very good. Despite several loan spells, Liverpool found it very difficult to shift the Serbian winger, but Fulham offered him a shock route out of Anfield in January before he sealed a move back to boyhood club Partizan the following transfer window.

Dejan Lovren

A real career of ups and downs for the Croatian under Rodgers, but he remains a trusted option under Klopp.

The Belgian only made two starts under Rodgers before Klopp handed him opportunities up front in his first season. Played a key part in helping Liverpool win the Champions League after goals against Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.

Javier Manquillo

The Spanish full back, on a season-long loan, now finds himself at Newcastle, where he worked with Rafael Benitez last season.

Alberto Moreno

The left-back never fully convinced supporters and joined Villarreal on a free transfer in the summer.

Mario Balotelli

One of the biggest disappointments, scoring just four goals. The £18million man would leave for nothing, and now plays with Brescia in Serie A.

Joe Gomez

Initially played left back by Rodgers, before being injured during Klopp's first week at the club. Gomez has become one of the best young centre-backs in Europe - and has even been compared to Raphael Varane.

Adam Bogdan

The goalkeeper fell down the pecking order fast at Liverpool and departed in the summer.

Danny Ings

The striker flourished in Rodgers' final days but suffered two serious injuries under Klopp and struggled to break into his first-team plans, moving to Southampton in search of regular football.

James Milner

Remains one of the key figures in the Anfield dressing room.

Nathaniel Clyne

The right back was a crucial part of Klopp's side for his first two seasons, but suffered injury in July 2017 and failed to regain his place with the emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Several sides were interested in buying Clyne during the summer before he suffered an unfortunate anterior cruciate ligament injury during the pre-season friendly with Borussia Dortmund.

Roberto Firmino

His career achieved lift-off after Rodgers left, and has established himself as one of Europe's best no.9s.

Christian Benteke

Struggled to make an impact despite the £32.5million price tag and is now at Crystal Palace, where he has been struggling for form.

Allan Rodrigues de Souza

Still on the payroll at Liverpool but continues to be loaned out in search of a work permit; currently at Fluminese in his native Brazil.
