Liverpool are expected to be in the market for a striker next summer due to Darwin Nunez’s inconsistent performances and the club are also likely to bring in a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah if he leaves on a free transfer.
Liverpool’s recruitment team, under the leadership of sporting director Richard Hughes, are working hard behind the scenes to draw up plans for the upcoming transfer windows.
The Reds have certain ideas they want to execute in January but the club are working on several plans and scenarios for the next summer transfer window.
The plans will largely depend on what Trent Alexander-Arnold, Salah and Virgil van Dijk will end up doing but there are some other players in the Reds squad whose futures at the club are also under the scanner.
The club are scouting a replacement for Dominik Szoboszlai and there are suggestions that the club are also seeking a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson.
Liverpool could make a shock decision to sell a forward
According to Trend Spot, the Reds are considering moving on Luis Diaz from the squad, possibly at the end of the season.
The Colombian, who joined in January 2022, has scored five times this season for the Reds in the Premier League and has been a key part of the team.
However, there is speculation that the club are pondering over selling the winger next summer to raise cash and bring in a more suitable player for Slot’s style of football.
Diaz started and registered an assist in Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at Arsenal on Sunday but it seems his future at the club is under a sharp focus.
He will have two more years left on his contract next year and Barcelona showed interest in the winger last summer when the club were not willing to sell him.
The Catalan giants still have their eyes on him and things could be different if they make a move for him at the end of the season.
Liverpool have their eyes on Lamine Yamal and his name could come into the fray if the two clubs do decide to hold talks over a deal for Diaz.
However, the winger could have a great season for the Reds, which would likely change the club’s potential plans to sell him.
