Arthur will be returning to Juventus as he was on loan at Merseyside, but barely managed to get any playing time due to injuries.
Keita has already found a new club to play for, and has returned to the Bundesliga. The former RB Leipzig midfielder has now signed for Werder Bremen on a free transfer. He has agreed a deal until 2026 with them, and has been officially presented as a new signing for the summer.
Milner has moved on from Liverpool to sign for Brighton, while Oxlade-Chamberlain and Firmino are yet to decide where they will play next.
