Liverpool are reportedly lining up three potential replacements for Luis Diaz, with the Colombian winger on the verge of a move to Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich have reached a full agreement with Diaz, and the transfer is expected to be finalized soon. Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Diaz is set to arrive in Munich today, undergo a medical tomorrow and sign a four-year deal. This transfer could free up funds for Liverpool to pursue a marquee signing, potentially Newcastle’s Alexander Isak.
While Liverpool have spent heavily this summer, they are targeting Rodrygo of Real Madrid as their top priority replacement for Diaz. However, Real Madrid’s £78m asking price presents a significant challenge. As alternative options, Liverpool are also considering Malick Fofana of Lyon and Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig. Everton are also interested in Fofana, creating a potential bidding war. The possibility of Champions League football could give Liverpool an edge in securing Fofana’s signature.
The sale of Diaz could prove to be a shrewd move for Liverpool, enabling them to reinvest funds wisely while bolstering their squad in other areas, such as center-back and central midfield. The situation will likely continue to develop rapidly, with more updates expected shortly.
