Liverpool are certain that they can receive more than £20million from the sale of Danny Ings, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The English striker has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, Southampton, Leicester City and Newcastle United. However, the Liverpool Echo claims that the striker is still weighing up his options before making a decision on his exit.

The 26-year-old will only be sold by the Reds if they get a bid of £20million plus add-ons and they have cited the transfer fees for strikers in the summer as a reason for their requirement.

Ings did play nine games for us last season and got one goal in the Premier League. However, it is the lack of game time at Anfield that is a crucial factor for the Englishman wanting to leave, according to Liverpool Echo.

Jurgen Klopp does not want to lose the striker but understands that Ings wants to play more games. That cannot be guaranteed at Anfield, with Roberto Firmino leading the line and Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane providing options out wide.

The report goes on to say that Ings has returned to full fitness in the training camp in Evian but will not play a part in the friendly against Napoli on Saturday.

The Englishman is a popular member of the squad and is a decent backup. But his time at Anfield is surely coming to an end.

Ings is one of the best fits for Klopp’s high pressing game at Liverpool. But it looks like the former Burnley man will be doing the scoring for another club this season.
