Liverpool is expected to make significant squad changes in the upcoming summer transfer window, especially in the attacking department. After securing the Premier League title, both sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are working on reshaping the team.
There are rumors of major departures, with Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa both linked to potential exits. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz’s future at Anfield remains uncertain. Despite an impressive season where the Colombian forward scored 13 league goals, his contract situation is unresolved.
Diaz’s current deal runs until 2027, but contract talks have stalled. He is reportedly earning £55,000 a week and is seeking a substantial pay increase—something Liverpool has yet to offer. This could lead to Diaz being sold this summer to avoid losing him for less later on.
Anthony Gordon Back on Liverpool’s Radar
Should Diaz be sold—possibly to Barcelona or Saudi club Al-Nassr—Liverpool would be in the market for a top-tier replacement on the left wing. Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon has emerged once again as a prime candidate. The 24-year-old was close to joining Liverpool last summer due to Newcastle’s financial issues, but the move never materialized.
Now, with Newcastle in a stronger financial position and back in the Champions League, the situation has changed. Gordon, who began his youth career at Liverpool and has a strong bond with Curtis Jones, has renewed his contract with Newcastle.
Still, Liverpool is reportedly eager to bring Gordon back to Merseyside. According to Football Insider, he is their top target should Diaz leave. The report claims Newcastle would demand between £75 million and £80 million to part with Gordon.
Last season, Gordon contributed six goals and six assists in the Premier League. Though his form dipped late in the campaign, a return to Liverpool could spark a resurgence in his career
