# Liverpool: Reds not planning to sell Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) look set to keep hold of midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain beyond this summer, following a new transfer report which has emerged.**

### The Lowdown: Future up in the air

The 28-year-old endured a frustrating 2021/22 season for the Reds, only starting [nine](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/84146/Show/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) matches and [not featuring at all](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/leistungsdaten/spieler/143424) after March.

Recent [rumours](https://talksport.com/football/1126430/manchester-united-transfer-news-liverpool-alex-oxlade-chamberlain-man-city-newcastle-dean-henderson/) have suggested that Oxlade-Chamberlain could leave Liverpool this summer, with his current deal [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-oxlade-chamberlain/profil/spieler/143424) at the end of next season.

However, a new update suggests that the Englishman might not be on his way out of Anfield just yet.

### The Latest: Liverpool want to keep him

According to [The Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chamberlain-williams-liverpool-transfer-stance-24267492), the Reds ‘have no plans to sell’ Oxlade-Chamberlain, instead looking to retain his services for at least another year.

It is stated that ‘Anfield insiders’ are claiming as much, with the club seemingly performing a U-turn in their stance on their player after [recent reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/aston-villa-news/aston-villa-transfer-news-alex-oxlade-chamberlain-available-steven-gerrard/) suggested that the Merseysiders would allow him to leave if a satisfactory offer came in.

### The Verdict: Time to leave instead?

Oxlade-Chamberlain’s Liverpool career has had plenty of positive notes – he has been [described](https://www.rousingthekop.com/2021/08/20/klopp-has-high-praise-for-keita-and-oxlade-chamberlain/) as ‘very valuable’ by Jurgen Klopp and enjoyed some [big-game goals](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team/player/alex-oxlade-chamberlain) in his first season at the club – but this update still comes as a surprise.

It could suggest that the Reds won’t be signing another midfielder this summer, but considering that they could lose the 28-year-old on a free transfer next summer rather than receiving a hefty sum for him this time around, moving him on in the next few weeks could make more sense.

The idea of Oxlade-Chamberlain staying certainly isn’t a disaster – far from it – but he will surely have to accept being a bit-part player in 2022/23, having [drifted behind](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/leistungsdaten/verein/31) the likes of Fabinho, Thiago, Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, James Milner, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott in the pecking order.
