Luis Alberto (at Malaga)
The Spaniard was only a bit-part player at Liverpool last season, and this loan move was always likely to be make or break for him. Unfortunately, he’s been restricted to just 20 appearances in all competitions – the majority of them as a substitute – and probably hasn’t done enough to convince Rodgers that he should stay.
Iago Aspas (at Sevilla)
Only scored the one goal for us last season – against Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup – and it was widely expected that Aspas would depart following his loan move to Sevilla. However, he’s been decent this year, scoring ten goals in 19 games, and has at least given Rodgers something to think about. Still probably not quite good enough.
Divock Origi (at Lille)
The Belgian will be a first-team regular next season, albeit as the likely understudy to Daniel Sturridge. He’s already scored eight goals for club and country this term, including an impressive hat-trick for Lille last time out. It will be interesting to see how Rodgers approaches his strikeforce for next year, but Origi will be a part of it.
Rafa Paez (at Eibar)
The 20-year-old is yet to feature for the Liverpool first-team, but did enough to earn a move to Spain. Unfortunately, he’s been unable to play due to administrative error, which caused FIFA to block the move.
