The future of Curtis Jones remains under intense scrutiny, with Inter Milan preparing to make a summer bid for the academy graduate.
The Italian champions view Jones as an ideal addition to their squad, and with contract extension talks completely stagnant, Liverpool are highly-vulnerable to losing the player on a free transfer next summer.
The board need to act decisively by lining up immediate replacements and avoid a repetition of the mistakes made when allowing Trent Alexander Arnold and Ibrahima Konate to run down their contracts.
Should Jones finalise a move to the San Siro, Liverpool are expected to target Adam Wharton, to prevent incoming manager Andoni Iraola from starting the upcoming Premier League campaign short on senior squad depth.
