Liverpool NewsReport: Liverpool’s top target to replace Luis Diaz will cost £75m to £80m…

Report: Liverpool’s primary target to succeed Luis Diaz is expected to cost between £75m and £80m.

Liverpool is anticipated to undertake a significant transfer revamp during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are actively pursuing changes following the club’s triumph in the Premier League.

We may witness notable exits, particularly in the forward position, with Federico Chiesa and especially Darwin Nunez being linked with departures.

Additionally, there remains an outstanding matter concerning Luis Diaz. The 28-year-old Colombian has just concluded a remarkable season, netting 13 league goals, yet he finds himself in a state of contract uncertainty.

With his existing contract set to expire in 2027, negotiations for a new agreement with club officials have stalled. Diaz, reportedly earning £55k weekly, is seeking a renewal with significantly improved terms. However, Liverpool has not yet considered his requests.

This situation implies that if a resolution is not achieved, Diaz might be sold this summer to generate transfer funds and mitigate the risk of losing him for a considerably lower fee next summer.

Liverpool’s renewed interest in Anthony Gordon

Should Diaz depart – potentially to Barcelona or Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia – it could create an opportunity for a new, high-caliber left-wing player to join the squad.

Recent reports have emerged regarding Anthony Gordon, the Newcastle winger who nearly signed with the Reds last summer.

Newcastle’s challenging financial circumstances last year due to PSR issues meant the 24-year-old could have been let go, but the outlook appears much brighter for Eddie Howe’s team this summer.

The Magpies have once again qualified for the Champions League, and Gordon’s contract has been renewed.

Liverpool is reportedly keen on reuniting Gordon with Merseyside, as the forward previously spent time with the club as a youth before starting his professional journey with Everton.

Furthermore, Gordon is recognized for his close relationship with fellow Scouser Curtis Jones, making this potential deal quite remarkable if it materializes. Recently, a report has emerged indicating that Newcastle is seeking between £75m and £80m for Gordon this summer.

Luis Diaz out, Anthony Gordon in?

According to Football Insider, it is suggested that Gordon is Liverpool’s primary target should Diaz leave.

“Gordon was very close to joining Liverpool last summer when Newcastle had to contemplate selling to enhance their financial standing,” the report states.

“Recently, Luis Diaz has been associated with a transfer away from Anfield, and there is an increasing belief that the England international is the preferred choice to take his place if he is sold.

“He signed a long-term contract last October amidst all the speculation regarding his future, so to persuade Newcastle to part with him, a fee of £75-80million would be necessary.”

Gordon netted six goals in the Premier League and contributed six assists for Newcastle last season.

While it wasn’t his best season by his own standards, as he fell out of the starting lineup during the final stretch, a return to Me

rseyside could rejuvenate him if Liverpool decides to pursue this transfer.
