Virgil van Dijk is "very excited" about the future for Liverpool despite the club looking like they will miss out on the Champions League next season.
The Reds drew 1-1 with Aston Villa, leaving Manchester United and Newcastle United needing one point from two games to finish in the top four.
But Van Dijk does not feel missing out on the top four will make it more difficult to reinvigorate the squad.
At least four players will leave a team requiring a rebuild this summer.
Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will all depart the club and were given a guard of honour by their team-mates after Saturday's game against Villa at Anfield.
