With the January transfer window fast approaching and several players having their eyes on next summer’s world cup in Russia, there could be a mass exodus of player from club sides next month.
It appears Liverpool attacker Daniel Sturridge would be one of those stars that would be free to leave.
The injury-prone attacker has fallen down the perking order at Anfield, with former Chelsea youngster Dominic Solanke now even more preferred to him.
Sturridge has made only 5 starts for Liverpool this season, returning with 3 goals, but he knows he cannot convince Gareth Southgate to offer him a place in his world cup team next year if he doesn’t play and score more.
According to The Sun, the Reds are looking to get his £125,000 per week wages off their books and would allow him leave abroad even on a temporary basis.
Sturridge was one of the first name on former manager Brendan Rodgers’ team sheet, but despite Jurgen Klopp claiming the attacker is the fittest he has been this season, the German still prefers to use Roberto Firmino as his target man.
The Reds prepare to play Bournemouth this Sunday and Sturridge is a major doubt after appearing to injure his hamstring in training.
