Liverpool will sell Louis Diaz after agreeing to a £65.5 million deal with Bayern Munich, and Winger’s departure is expected to fund a bid for Newcastle’s star Alexander Isaac
When Louis Diaz arrived in Liverpool in January 2022, his smile lit up the training ground. Boss Jurgen Klopp of the time admitted that he had never seen anyone enjoy training as much as Colombians.
Moving faster than expected to land him from Porto because Tottenham was a sniff, the Reds got new weapons in the campaign fighting for the four trophies.
But it was the most surprising how quickly he settled down. After that, Jordan Henderson big-name even said how quickly he found his foot at the club. Diaz undoubtedly managed to get £37.5 million in 148 matches, with 41 goals and 16 assists, and another League Cup with the Premier League title and the aforementioned trophy.
Now he’s heading towards the exit door, he needs to be replaced. But is he already there? Diaz under Arne Slot was more versatile than the left winger under Klopp.
When Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez were not available last season, he will be used in the middle. Slots want the frontline that could move around. He is often unhappy with the final product, but could be fatal, as he showed in November with hat-trick with Bayer Leverkusen and in September with manchester United at Old Trafford.

Now, Liverpool has already agreed to a £79 million deal to introduce Hugo Ekichike, and he is finding his foot on a summer tour in Asia. Diaz just left. It should be noted that Liverpool believes the French Under 21 striker has the ability to play more places than the front three.
Ekitike is not a Nunes replacement when you’re hoping to leave later this summer. Ekitike is a versatile forward for replacing Diaz. That’s why Liverpool leaves behind a red warning about Alexander Isaac. Because the Swedish hitman is the guy they want as the new No. 9 when Nunes leaves.
Now, if Newcastle wasn’t upset by their attitude that he’s not for sale, Liverpool is happy with the Ekichike from the middle. Of course, they also have Cody Gakupo on the left, and teenage sense Rio Nugumoha is beginning to push even at just 16 years old.
How much should Liverpool pay Alexander Isaac? Please speak in the comments section.
But if they can land Isaac in the coming weeks, even if it offers to British transfer records and Magpies become tolerant, Slot will believe he has a much more fluid forward line as fatal.
They know that Ekitique is a promised positive, but Isaac is a striker who proved himself in the Premier League. But swap them while having options left and right (many people believe Jeremy Fripon will be backed up by Mo Salah over the threat to Connor Bradley on the right back), and Reds is building the forefront of a new look that is more flexible than the previous one.
Why does Liverpool approve the sale of Diaz? Well, it was revealed to them 12 months ago that the Colombians were still turning their heads even though they were still smiling brightly.
They tried twice to secure him under a new contract, but there were too many differences between pay demands and expectations. Liverpool wanted to stand strong this season.
At the beginning of the summer, their attitude was not for sale for Diaz, but Bayern Munich proved that everyone was selling at a reasonable price. The Reds hope Newcastle’s stance changes in a similar way.
