Liverpool FC are poised for a significant reshuffle this summer, with pivotal decisions looming over some of their star players. Reports suggest that the Merseyside club has been ‘informed’ of a clear transfer trajectory, as they brace themselves for potential exits of key squad members amidst interest from top European clubs.
This transfer window has already proven fruitful for Arne Slot’s side, with the acquisition of marquee signings such as Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, and Jeremie Frimpong. Nevertheless, the Reds are not resting on their laurels and are actively pursuing further additions, including Hugo Ekitike, while names like Rodrygo Goes and Marc Guehi continue to be linked with the club.
Concurrently, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is expected to approve multiple departures to ensure fiscal balance, with high-value talents set to follow Jarell Quansah out of Anfield. Players such as Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, Harvey Elliott, and Ibrahima Konaté have been touted as potential departures, attracting suitors from both the Premier League and abroad.
Luis Díaz’s move appears to be the most advanced, as Bayern Munich have surged ahead of Barcelona in the race for the Colombian winger’s signature. A recent report from Bild indicates that Bayern have made a breakthrough, with a deal for Díaz edging closer. Esteemed German journalist Florian Plettenberg reveals that Díaz has communicated his desire to join the Bavarian giants, should a satisfactory arrangement be struck with Liverpool.
Plettenberg tweeted: “Luis #Diaz has not only informed Liverpool of his desire to leave, but has now also made it clear to #LFC that he would like to join FC Bayern if possible. The transfer is approved by Vincent Kompany. There is no full agreement between Bayern and Díaz yet. However, personal terms are not an issue, with a potential contract running at least until 2029. It is now up to Bayern to reach an agreement with Liverpool. If not, Díaz could still join another club. Barcelona remain interested, but would currently be unable to register him.”
Meanwhile, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano notes that Bayern Munich are preparing a fresh bid for Díaz, looking to improve upon their previous effort after an initial €67m offer was rejected. Barcelona remain in touch with Díaz’s representatives, though financial constraints might impede their pursuit.
In addition, Ibrahima Konaté’s position at Liverpool remains uncertain, as the centre-back approaches the final year of his contract. Reports suggest Konaté is eyeing a move to Real Madrid, with Liverpool’s hierarchy reportedly willing to entertain offers around the £40m mark to avoid a repeat of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure saga.
As Liverpool navigate this complex transfer landscape, their ability to negotiate the sale and retention of high-profile players will be crucial for shaping their squad for the forthcoming season.
