Liverpool plans to sell Luis Diaz to fund the acquisition of a new striker. The 28-year-old Colombian forward is expected to be transferred this summer, with Liverpool looking to revamp their attack amid rising interest in their players. According to Mick Brown, former Manchester United and Blackburn chief scout, Liverpool is aiming to bring in a “world-class” forward, regardless of Mohamed Salah’s future, and may need to sell Diaz to free up space.

Diaz has been seen as a valuable asset since last summer, with reports suggesting Liverpool would consider offers of £50 million or more for his transfer. He has made 35 appearances this season, scoring 13 goals and providing three assists. Despite his contributions, Liverpool is keen to secure a dedicated striker this summer, and Diaz’s sale could facilitate this move.

Liverpool is reportedly targeting Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, with Football Insider confirming their strong interest in the player. Brown, drawing from his experience in elite player recruitment, mentioned that selling Diaz could help Liverpool pursue bigger transfer goals. He compared the situation to Manchester United’s, noting the challenge of strengthening a strong squad with a limited pool of available players.

In addition to Diaz, Diogo Jota, another key player, is rumored to be leaving Anfield, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League and Arsenal expressing interest. Reports suggest Jota is no longer part of Arne Slot’s long-term plans and will be allowed to leave if a reasonable offer is made. Any attacking departures will likely lead to moves in the transfer market, as Liverpool aims to enhance their squad after a strong season.
