GETTY Jurgen Klopp plans to rebuild his Liverpool squad in the summer

Klopp's thoughts had crystallised even before Sunday's Capital One Cup final defeat to Manchester City on penalties and an overhaul of his playing squad looms large at the end of the season. The future of £32.5m striker Christian Benteke is swathed in doubt along with team-mates including goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. Liverpool will back Klopp in the transfer market and his interest in Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze and Poland international Piotr Zielinski, among others, is already established. Benteke was kept marooned on the substitutes' bench throughout the shoot-out reverse at Wembley as he was overlooked yet again for high-profile match. The forward remains Liverpool's leading scorer with seven goals and is prepared to fight for his future having turned down a big-money move to China in the transfer window.

Yet Klopp's actions suggest Benteke's prospects are bleak and Mignolet is also battling for his future with his mistake for Fernandinho's goal for City highlighting the inconsistencies in his performances. Liverpool will scour the market for goalkeeping reinforcements with No2 Adam Bogdan set to leave and are intent on recruiting someone who can genuinely challenge Mignolet. In addition, Joe Allen is set to depart, Kolo Toure, Joao Teixeira and Jose Enrique are out of contract, and Alberto Moreno is also struggling to assert his credentials. Klopp is keen on Leicester's teenage left-back Ben Chilwell. Attacking midfielder Goetze emerged under Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and has just over one-year remaining on his contract at Bayern while Zielinski, on loan at Empoli from Udinese, was a target in January and a deal will be revisited in the summer.
