Liverpool have completed their third signing of the summer, securing a massive £90 million deal (including add-ons) for one of La Liga’s most promising young talents. An official club announcement is expected later today.
However, much of Liverpool’s remaining transfer activity hinges on the future of Luis Díaz, whose situation at Anfield remains uncertain. The Colombian winger played a vital role in last season’s strong Premier League run, but interest from top European clubs — and Saudi sides — is growing.
Díaz Drawing Interest From Europe’s Elite
Barcelona and Bayern Munich are currently leading the chase for Díaz. While Liverpool aren’t actively trying to sell, a substantial offer could change that stance. The club has started preparing for life without him, just in case.
One possible replacement being considered is Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, a dynamic Brazilian forward who is also attracting interest from Arsenal, according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Rodrygo Could Be Tempted by Premier League MoveRodrygo hasn’t publicly pushed for an exit, but under new Madrid boss Xabi Alonso, his minutes have been reduced — including at the Club World Cup. This could open the door for a move to England, where both Liverpool and Arsenal are monitoring him closely.
If Díaz does leave, Liverpool are expected to go all in on Rodrygo, potentially setting up a bidding war with Arsenal.
Liverpool Holding Firm – For NowLiverpool are not actively seeking to offload Díaz, but a major offer could force them to reconsider. Should a transfer go through, it could directly impact Arsenal’s pursuit of Rodrygo, who is reportedly open to a Premier League switch.
With both English clubs financially ready to act, the final outcome may depend on Rodrygo’s preference — and whether Liverpool lose their current No. 7.
