LIVERPOOL are set to lose ELEVEN stars before the start of the season.
The club confirmed Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are among those leaving.
It comes after they failed to renew their contracts, with nearly 1,000 games played between them.
Firmino will leave Anfield as a fans’ favourite, having made 360 appearances for the Reds.
The Brazilian joined under Brendan Rodgers in 2015, going on to score 109 times for the club.
He helped them to the Premier League title, Champions League, an FA Cup and League Cup during his time.

Milner meanwhile, has made 330 appearances for Liverpool since joining on a free transfer from Manchester City in 2015.
And now the Premier League veteran will join Brighton.
Keita arrived as a much heralded £48million signing from RB Leipzig in 2018.
But he struggled for form and endured an injury-plagued career at Anfield.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has become something of a forgotten man at Liverpool.
The former Arsenal starlet has suffered terrible bad luck with injuries down the years – managing just 146 Reds appearances in six years.
He was linked with a move to Brighton, Aston Villa and Newcastle earlier this year.
Academy players Jack Bearne, Liam Hughes, Charlie Hayes-Green, Oscar Kelly, Fidel O’Rourke, Oludare Olufunwa and Iwan Roberts are also leaving.
