True, and I hope for the lad that that is the case. However, and I believe Harvey Elliott will prove to be the exception, I don’t recall any U23 player sent out on loan subsequently “making it” on their return to Liverpool.
Derrick Luckassen from PSV to Kasimpasa on loan.
Tibor Halilovic from Rijeka to Heerenveen for £1.3m.
Oskar Buur from Wolves to Grasshoppers on loan.
Leo Duarte from Milan to Istanbul BB on loan.
Juan Familia-Castillo from Chelsea to Den Haag on loan.
Peter Zulj from Anderlecht to Goztepe on loan.
Manu Sanchez from Atletico Madrid to Osasuna on loan.
Heriberto Tavares from Brest to Famalicao on loan.
Jean Lucas from Lyon to Brest on loan.
Filip Benkovic from Leicester to Leuven on loan.
Pol Lirola from Firorentina to Marseille on loan, option to buy for £10.7m.
Jorrit Hendrix from PSV to Spartak Moscow for £600k.
Majeed Ashimeru from RB Salzburg to Anderlecht on loan.

Timo Fosu-Mensah from United to Leverkusen confirmed, £1.5m fee.
Moussa Dembele from Lyon to Atletico on loan, £1.3m fee, option to buy for £30m.

Lucas Piazon “finally” leaves Chelsea permanently, he has signed for Braga on a free.
Jack Clarke from Tottenham to Stoke on loan.
Luka Jovic from Real back to Eintracht on loan confirmed.
Kevin Strootman from Marseille to Genoa on loan.
I thought Jerome Onguene would become an integral part of Salzburg’s defence (and a future target of ours). Seems like it didn’t pan out though. Or did we miss a boat on this one (i.e to get a good defender on loan).
