Liverpool Begin “Summer Clean-Up”
They are demanding between €50 million and €55 million for Jota
Liverpool’s transfer-out strategy aims to balance the books while retaining core talent.
Fresh from clinching the Premier League title with four games to spare, Liverpool have already turned their attention to next season – and that includes a strategic “summer clean-up.”
Jota’s Anfield Tenure and Recent Form
Since arriving from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020, Jota (28) has been a key attacking outlet, featuring in 34 matches this term and contributing 9 goals alongside 4 assists.
Yet, with Liverpool aiming to refresh their forward line, manager Arne Slot and sporting director Jürgen Klopp have agreed it is time to monetise one of the squad’s high-earners.

Valuation and Market Interest
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are demanding between €50 million and €55 million for Jota, whose Transfermarkt valuation stands at €45 million.
This premium reflects his proven record: five years in England, spells at Paços de Ferreira, Atlético Madrid and FC Porto, and participation in domestic and European success. Clubs across Europe, from Spain to Italy, are expected to weigh up bids for the Portuguese international.
“We’ve identified Diogo as part of our list for potential departures,” a club source confirmed.
“This will allow us to reinvest in key areas ahead of next season.”
Strategic Rationale Behind the Decision
Liverpool’s transfer-out strategy aims to balance the books while retaining core talent. By offloading Jota, the Reds free up wages and create budget space for targets in midfield and defence.
This approach follows their title-winning blueprint under Slot: combine shrewd recruitment with a leaner squad to maintain competitiveness on all fronts.
Slot’s Reaction to Title and Transfer Plans
After the 5-1 victory over Tottenham that secured the championship, Slot praised the collective effort and hinted at further squad evolution.
“We must celebrate this title, but also prepare for the challenges ahead,” he stated.
“Part of that preparation involves tough decisions on players who have served us well.”
