Liverpool’s summer transfer plan could depend heavily on Luis Diaz’s future, and the situation of the Colombian winger at Anfield is closely linked to the possibility of club Real Madrid star Rodrigo’s pursuit.
Liverpool are keen to keep Diaz, who was a key player to them last season in their successful Premier League season.
However, overseas interest, including favorable offers from Saudi Arabian professional league clubs, is complex and will consider the possibility of his departure if a substantial offer arrives in Liverpool.
Louis Diaz has been selected for the European giant this summer
Barcelona and Bayern Munich are European teams that show the most interest in Liverpool’s attackers, and although the Premier League champions are not ready to offload him this summer, they have made plans in case he leaves the club.
According to journalist Sacha Tabolieri, if Liverpool leaves, Liverpool is expected to act to ensure a high-quality alternative, with Arsenal’s target, Real Madrid’s Rodrigo, emerging as the candidate to replace Anfield’s Diaz.
Arsenal is deeply tied to Rodrigo as they aim to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s frontline ahead of another Premier League title challenge, but Liverpool can take part in the race if Diaz’s exit creates an opening with an offense.
While Rodrigo shows no signs of leaving Real Madrid this summer, the attackers have fallen into the pecking order under new manager Xabi Alonso, and his limited playing time at the Club World Cup can force the Brazilian star to rethink his future.
Liverpool is not planning to sell Lewis Dias
For now, Liverpool’s attitude is what they want to keep Diaz. Although there is no rush to offload him unless their ratings are met, if they lose Diaz, it could be bad news for the gunners who have decided to sign Rodrigo this summer.
The Real Madrid star is open to travel to the Premier League, with both Liverpool and Arsenal offering players the ideal opportunity to begin a new chapter in his career.
Both can complete the transaction financially and ultimately result in the player preferences.
