Liverpool could break the £100million barrier this summer for money recouped as Joe Allen’s sale to Stoke will trigger a raft of departures from Anfield.

The Wales international completed a £13.5m move to the Britannia Stadium on Monday after passing a medical and Liverpool will recoup another £6m from Bournemouth once Brad Smith’s sale goes through.

Smith, the young left back, left Liverpool’s training camp in Palo Alto on Monday and will undergo a medical on the South Coast once he arrives back at Heathrow Airport. Liverpool have inserted a buy-back clause in his deal should he make significant progress.

Allen and Smith’s moves take the total number of players Liverpool have sold this summer to seven, following on Jordon Ibe, Joao Carlos Teixeira, Sergi Canos, Martin Skrtel, Jerome Sinclair and that accumulative total is £50m.

However, that figure is expected to dramatically rise with Crystal Palace prepared to pay £30m for Christian Benteke. The Belgium international has indicated he wants to stay but it is understood Palace will return with another offer.

And with Lazar Markovic, Luis Alberto, Andre Wisdom and Mario Balotelli, there is potential for Liverpool to set a new record in terms of money brought in for one window.

The most successful window for sales was in 2014 but the £83m raised from six departures was distorted by Luis Suarez’s £75million sale to Barcelona.

Liverpool have shown they will not sell any of their players on the cheap – a point emphasised by Ibe’s £15m switch to Bournemouth – and have been firm in all discussions.

For all the sales, though, Jurgen Klopp wants to make one more addition and that is a left back after they lost interest in Ben Chilwell, with the England Under 21 international indicating he wanted to sign a new five-year contract with Leicester.

Chilwell had been on Liverpool’s radar since before Christmas but they could not thrash out a deal with Leicester and over the course of the last 14 days, he never gave the impression of being prepared to move to Anfield.
