Liverpool are letting a third player leave in the January transfer window as Kamil Grabara makes a loan move and the squad this out.
You would think that in the middle of one the best title race Liverpool have been in for decades that they would be bolstering their squad. Instead a third Red has been confirmed to leave Jurgen Klopp’s squad with Kamil Grabara moving to AGF Aarhus on loan.
The Polish youngster will spend the rest of the season on loan in Denmark as the 19-year-old looks to get more first team experience.

Grabara is the third Liverpool player to leave in the first week of the January transfer window being open.
AFC Bournemouth have picked up two Reds in the window; Dominic Solanke for £19 million with £6 million potential add-ons and Nathaniel Clyne on-loan for the rest of the 2018/19 Premier League season.
Liverpool fans will be hoping that pair can help Bournemouth pick up some points against some of their rivals with the Cherries having to play both Man City and Spurs before the end of the season.
Grabara moving out leaves Republic of Ireland youth international Caoimhin Kelleher as the undisputed third choice goalkeeper behind Alisson Becker and Simon Mignolet – who is expected to start tonight against Wolves in the FA Cup.
There is some concern in the fanbase that the squad is thinning a little too much. While there is much excitement about young defensive phenom Ki-Jana Hoever the departure of Clyne leaves the Reds short of defensive cover with Joe Gomez and Joel Matip still on the sidelines.
Losing Dominic Solanke is not such a big deal as he has yet to play a minute for the Reds this season. However if Divock Origi were also allowed to leave – and a large offer would surely be accepted – then Klopp would only have Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge as first team striking options.
Let’s hope there can be a couple of additions in the next few weeks to bolster the squad ahead of the title run-in.
