Liverpool may be facing significant changes to their squad, with the futures of several key players up in the air.
Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk are all nearing the end of their contracts, and with no clear indications of extensions being agreed, they could potentially leave on free transfers if new deals aren’t finalized soon. Adding to the uncertainty, forwards Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are also being linked with moves away. While Nunez has shown glimpses of brilliance, he has struggled to live up to his hefty price tag, and Diaz is reportedly attracting strong interest from Barcelona.
Liverpool’s £55m Price Tag on Diogo Jota Amid Wolves Interest
In another twist, reports indicate that Liverpool might be open to selling Diogo Jota. According to TEAMtalk, Wolves are interested in bringing Jota back and could make a move in the summer. Liverpool is said to be willing to sell for the right offer, reportedly seeking a fee close to £55m for the forward, whose contract runs until 2027.
Jota, who joined Liverpool from Wolves in 2020 for £41 million, has been a vital part of the squad, contributing 64 goals and 22 assists in 174 appearances across all competitions. However, his recent form has come under scrutiny, especially following his performance in the League Cup final against Newcastle. In his 57 minutes on the field, Jota failed to register a single shot on target, raising questions about his impact in Liverpool’s attack.
Liverpool’s Attacking Dilemma Next Season
Liverpool’s attack has been largely driven by Mohamed Salah this season. The Egyptian forward has been exceptional, registering 27 goals and 17 assists in 29 appearances. With Salah’s contributions central to the team’s success, his potential departure, combined with the underperformance of Jota, Diaz, and Nunez, could leave Liverpool facing a major attacking crisis.
While the club is expected to push for Salah to sign a new contract, it seems there is a possibility they could let him leave. Without a world-class replacement for Salah, Liverpool’s attacking power could be significantly reduced in the upcoming season.
