Liverpool brutally dumps title hero in ruthless £40m swoop to stun Anfield

Liverpool have already identified the players they want to sell this summer to raise funds and make space in their squad for new signings. However, the club are being forced to make a few tough calls on stars they initially didn’t want to offload in the ongoing transfer window.

The Merseyside giants are set to spend big money on the potential arrivals of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, and have already signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool have bagged an initial fee of £13.5m from the sale of Caoimhin Kelleher, and are looking to move on a few more fringe stars in the coming days and weeks.

However, Liverpool find themselves in a tough spot due to a top star’s willingness to leave the club, and they have now identified a potential replacement if he moves on.

The Reds identify a replacement if a star man gets sold

Luis Diaz’s future at Liverpool is under scrutiny due to the player’s very public claims about conversations with other clubs this summer.

Barcelona have already failed with an approach for the winger, but that has not deterred them due to his willingness to push for a transfer in the ongoing transfer window.

Liverpool’s official stance is that the player is not for sale, but the club are putting plans in place if they are forced to let him leave this summer.

According to TEAMTalk, the Merseyside giants want Lyon’s Malick Fofana if Diaz moves on before the start of the new season.

The 20-year-old winger is expected to move on from Lyon due to the French club’s dire financial issues, and is expected to be available for £40m.

The Reds believe Fofana can be brought in this summer, and they can develop him into a top-class player soon.

Diaz’s willingness to entertain offers has forced Liverpool to look for a younger replacement for the 28-year-old star.
