While Liverpool are focusing their attention on the World Cup in Qatar to keep track of their possible reinforcements and players, there is also talk within the Merseyside squad about possible departures in the winter transfer window or later in the summer, with the departure of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is unlikely to extend his contract, being all but confirmed.
According to the twitter account, Fabrizio Romano, a strong rumour has emerged which indicates that there are no talks between the Reds and the player to extend his contract, which expires in June next year. Chamberlain has never been able to become a first-choice for Klopp since his arrival, but this has always been due more to a physical issue than a footballing one, with the Brit having spent much of his time out injured since his arrival in 2017.

The still Reds player arrived for the 2017-2018 season from Arsenal in exchange for a payment equivalent to £35 million, being that investment of the Reds one of the least exploited even though the British player could win during his stay competitions such as the Premier League and the Champions League, gradually ending Chamberlain with the patience of Klopp who no longer wants him in the team for 2023, being this situation very similar to the one that happens with Naby Keita.
His role as a substitute at Liverpool and his constant absence due to injury mean that even the English institution is not thinking of making a financial profit from the situation with a renewal and then loaning or selling him to another team, leaving only that his contract expires and he is free in June 2023 to decide which direction to take, with Klopp and his recruitment team now thinking more about the stars who will be looking to shine in Qatar.
Among the big investments that Liverpool made between 2018 and 2019, Chamberlain and Naby Keita were possibly the risky and somewhat "economic" proposals from which Klopp thought to make the most of to use them as references or as good exchange chips in the future, losing the German tactician much in this transaction as none could make a difference during his stay, having in the Guinean Keita at least still the possibility of using him as a bargaining chip, very different from what is happening today with Alex.
