Liverpool Eye Kvaratskhelia as Potential Diaz Replacement Amid Transfer Uncertainty
The future of Luis Díaz at Anfield has become increasingly uncertain as reports continue to link the Colombian winger with potential moves to European heavyweights Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Despite Liverpool’s public stance that Díaz is not for sale this summer, the lack of a new contract agreement and ongoing interest from other clubs has kept the speculation alive. Barcelona, in particular, remain persistent in their pursuit of the 28-year-old forward and are expected to renew their efforts in the coming weeks following a pause out of respect for Diogo Jota’s recent tragic passing.
Should Díaz depart, Liverpool have identified Paris Saint-Germain’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as a prime candidate to fill the void, according to Anfield Watch. The Georgian international, who joined PSG from Napoli in January, made an immediate impact — playing a key role in PSG’s UEFA Champions League triumph as well as contributing to Napoli’s Serie A success earlier in the season.
Kvaratskhelia, known for his flair, creativity, and eye for goal, would be a marquee signing. However, signing him won’t be easy. With the 23-year-old only recently arriving in Paris and playing a pivotal role in Luis Enrique’s system, PSG are unlikely to entertain offers unless Liverpool present a very persuasive bid.
Meanwhile, Díaz remains an integral part of Arne Slot’s system. His versatility has been a major asset — having operated both as a wide attacker and occasionally as a false nine last season. His tally of 17 goals and 8 assists across all competitions highlights his value to the Reds.
While Liverpool aren’t actively looking to sell the Colombian winger, sources suggest that a significant financial offer could force the club to reconsider — especially if it allows them to reinvest in other positions.
Still, a move for Kvaratskhelia appears overly optimistic at this stage, and Liverpool may need to explore alternative options if Díaz exits Anfield this summer. Other names such as Eberechi Eze and Alexander Isak have been suggested by fans as potential targets.
As the summer transfer window continues, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool can hold onto their star — or if the club’s recruitment team will be forced into action to find a worthy replacement.
