1. Adam Lallana

It may seem crazy to suggest that Liverpool might sell Lallana when he’s playing so well, but I do think it’s possible. Klopp could look to take advantage of his fine form to cash in at the height of his transfer value.

The English international is off to a fine start to the Premier League campaign. He’s registered one goal and one assist in just three matches. He also saved Sam Allardyce with his stoppage time goal for England this weekend. Lallana’s stock has never been higher.

That’s the sort of performance that Liverpool should expect from a high-priced 28-year-old attacking midfielder though. It’s safe to say that prior to this season, Lallana has been a mild disappointment compared to his purchase price. Might the Liverpool transfer committee see his hot form now as an outlier?

More importantly, another club could think his current hot form is the rule, rather than the exception. If so, Liverpool might receive a transfer offer in excess of 30 million pounds for the English attacker. Do you really think Klopp would turn that down? Something tells me the German manager would be more than happy to take his chances with purchasing a new attacking midfielder for that sum. Lallana might be playing his way out of Anfield.
