Steven Gerrard isn’t the only player on the brink of leaving Liverpool as a free agent.

Brad Jones, Kolo Toure, Glen Johnson, Suso and Jon Flanagan are also out of contract as another summer of change at Anfield awaits.

Jones and Toure have indicated a desire to stay but there have been no discussions with the club over an extension and their hopes are receding.

Johnson, who would have had to accept a significant pay cut, appears destined to move on with a move to Italy a strong possibility. Suso has already agreed a four-year deal with AC Milan when his contract expires.

Talented Academy graduate Flanagan was a mainstay of the side in the second half of last season but has missed the current campaign due to a knee injury. He’s expected back in action next month.

The full-back is desperate to remain at his boyhood club and Brendan Rodgers has previously stated he wants him to be part of the Reds’ future.

However, talks over a new deal have dragged on and are yet to reach a successful conclusion.

In fact since Daniel Sturridge penned a new five-year deal back in October it’s been all quiet on the contract front at Anfield.

The pressing concern has been securing the services of talented youngster Raheem Sterling and vice-captain Jordan Henderson but neither has put pen to paper yet.

Anfield officials believe that will change over the next month as they insist discussions are now progressing well.

Henderson’s current deal expires in the summer of 2016 and Sterling is under contract until 2017.

Last summer the club were keen to reward Philippe Coutinho for his progress with improved terms but that’s another contract issue that has still be be resolved. The little Brazilian is signed up until 2018.

If they want to keep him, sorting out Martin Skrtel’s future is arguably more pressing as he’s down to the last 18 months of his deal. Like Skrtel, Jose Enrique, Rickie Lambert, Oussama Assaidi and Sebastian Coates will also be free agents in the summer of 2016.

Typically, it’s when a key player gets down to the final two years of an agreement that a club opens talks over an extension.

Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen, Fabio Borini, Mario Balotelli are under contract until 2017, while the list of those players who still have at least three years to run includes Simon Mignolet, Dejan Lovren, Mamadou Sakho, Alberto Moreno, Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Emre Can, Divock Origi, Tiago Ilori and Andre Wisdom.

Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto, who are out on loan at Sevilla and Malaga respectively, have deals running until 2018 but are unlikely to return to Anfield.
