Sadio Mane’s inevitable departure from Liverpool this summer has worryingly reminded the Anfield faithful that their stars won’t be at the club forever.

After Champions League and Premier League success with this squad over the last few years, many supporters could be forgiven for wondering what happens when this current squad is done.

Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson, Joel Matip, Roberto Firmino, Virgil Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Alisson, Fabinho and Andy Robertson are all 28 years old or older.

Whilst many of them – goalkeeper Alisson, in particular – will continue to play at the top level for a few more years, the Premier League side need to start looking at the future.

But, as always, Liverpool seem to be well prepared.

When you initially look at the squad, you look at the players above and worry that it might be a struggle to replace them.

However, looking more closely, there are plenty of youngsters ready to come in – which is mainly down to good planning from the club.

New signing Darwin Nunez is just one of the players who is 25 or younger and is ready to be a part of Jurgen Klopp’s new wave of stars.
