Jakarta –
Recently, it has become a hobby for Liverpool to release academy players. Some players have gone, Curtis Jones following?
The most attention-grabbing was when Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool for Real Madrid in the summer of 2025. The wing-back left on a free transfer.
Trent has won all the titles with the Reds. The club wanted to extend the contract, but an agreement could not be found. Trent had dreamed of becoming Liverpool captain in the future, so he finally parted ways.

Apart from that, several Liverpool academy players left last summer. Jarell Quansah was released to Bayer Leverkusen, even though Liverpool had a buy-back clause.
Goalkeeper Kelleher sold to Brentford. Once predicted to be Alisson’s successor, Kelleher was frustrated with just being a backup.

20 year old young winger, Ben Gannon-Doak was sold by Liverpool to Bournemouth. Liverpool has a five-year buyback clause.
Defensive midfielder Tyler Morton sold to Lyon. The 23 year old player immediately became a mainstay in the midfield.
Harvey Elliot is also on loan at Aston Villa, while Curtis Jones wants to leave and looks like he will be loaned to Inter Milan.
Liverpool is known as a team that is able to produce talented young players. But now, the Reds like shopping and prefer to let go of their academy graduates (even though they still have a buy-back clause).
Is this a good strategy or will it end badly?
