This by Andy Hunter includes some guesstimates for the outgoings
Liverpool maintain Díaz is not for sale and that their €100m (£86.8m) valuation of the Colombia international is for accounting purposes rather than an asking price. That may be so but if that valuation is met and Díaz departs, and Liverpool get what they want for Darwin Núñez (£55m), Harvey Elliott (£40m-plus), Chiesa (£10m) and Tyler Morton (£15m), the club could yet recoup more than £200m before the transfer window closes on 1 September. A well-run champion does not ease up.
Well yeah, but it’s coming from reliable sources that the player himself has said he wants to leave and join Bayern. I’m sure it is about money, he’s getting to the age where he has one big contract left in his career, and he’s making significantly less than the likes of Salah, Wirtz, etc.
I like Diaz a lot as a player and think he’s been really good for us, but if a player wants to go and you don’t want to offer them new terms, then I don’t see the point in keeping them around. If Bayern come in with a 65M offer I reckon we let him go and look for a replacement.
If. They are still 20m short of our valuation we don’t let him leave to improve another side just because, no charity.
They can stump up the cash or they can get ducked and he can sulk all he wants he after all signed that contract and his father has been trying to tout him to Barca since he did.
Yup we have fallow years. This of course is a rather large outlay for us but if we can recoup even just from Morton, Elliott, Nunez and perhaps a youngster or two that’s going be more than 130m
If Diaz goes to Bayern. Rodrygo would make a lot of sense as a replacement for us. Supposedly we are in talks with his camp now to see if an agreement can be reached. No talks reported between the clubs yet.
Really interesting stuff if it happens. A front 4 of Rodrygo, Ekitikie, Wirtz, Salah would be absolutely devastating.
I’m pretty sure Diaz is going to Bayern if he leaves. He’s unlikely to haunt us. As for Rodrygo he would make a good replacement if the player wants to join Liverpool. If he joins another PL club… have there even been any links? Chelsea already dumped a big wad of cash on Madueke, and he’s not nearly in Rodrygo’s zip code of class and ability.
Was referring to Rodrygo. No idea if any links but would hate to see him at Arsenal or City. I think he’s a brilliant player and surprised they aren’t in for him. Maybe he’s said he’ll only leave Madrid for LFC
Do you think they’ll still hold an interest after getting Madueke?
I think they should still be looking to add in forward areas but Arsenal always seem to not quite do enough. They err on the side of caution too much, imo.
For those who like their unreliable rumours to come with a hint of delusion/sleuthing:
An avid flight tracker has spotted a private jet from Madrid to Liverpool, and yesterday Sky Sports caught a blacked out car entering our grounds assuming it was Ekitike (who actually went to London). Could we have already sorted a potential Diaz replacement in Rodrygo? Has TAA realised Spanish birds have nothing on Scouse birds? Is Vinicius willing to sacrifice his ludicrous salary demands for the honour of playing with Wataru Endo?
