Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is ready to let a trio of players leave Anfield this summer, according to reports.
The Sunday People claims Jonjo Shelvey and Jay Spearing will be sold, while young defender Andre Wisdom will be allowed to leave on loan.
All three have Premier League admirers, the newspaper claim, but appear to have no future on Merseyside – for next season, at least.
Shelvey, who has been capped once by England, will be allowed to leave for £7million, according to the newspaper.
That would see Liverpool make a considerable profit on the 21-year-old midfielder after signing him from Charlton Athletic for under £2million in 2010.
Stoke City have been linked with him in the past, and Norwich City are interested in him now, the newspaper claims.
However, Liverpool’s asking price may have to come down slightly for the Canaries to firm up their interest with a bid.
As for Spearing, he will be allowed to depart Anfield for £3million, according to the paper.
The Englishman will turn 25 later this year and appears to have missed his chance to establish himself as a first-team regular at Liverpool.
He spent last season on loan at Championship side Bolton Wanderers after Rodgers decided he was not ready to be a part of his team, despite being used regularly in Kenny Dalglish’s days as manager.
Promoted Yorkshire side Hull City would like to sign Spearing, the newspaper claims, while Bolton is keen on capturing him on loan for a second time.
Wisdom is highly-rated at Anfield but Rodgers would like him to gain first-team experience with a loan spell next season, according to the paper.
Rodgers would prefer him to temporarily join a Championship club, but Premier League side Fulham are said to be considering making a bid.
