SHOCKING NEWS: reported by football guru Fabrizio Romano, The exit of Luis Diaz from Liverpool has been confirmed, and he is being seen as a “sacrificial lamb” in order to secure the Reds’ top priority signing. Diaz is said to have been “pushed out” to make way for the new arrival, with the club desperate to bring in the player they have long been chasing. Diaz Sacrificed to Secure Liverpool’s ‘Top Priority’ Signing – Colombian Departure a Blow to Reds Fans”.

Salah, aged 31, has garnered interest from Paris Saint-Germain and notably the Saudi Pro League as he approaches the conclusion of his current contract with Liverpool. With just over a year remaining on his deal at Anfield, the Egypt international has emerged as the top transfer target for Saudi Arabia as they prepare for another bout of lavish spending in the upcoming summer window.

Footballwave has learned that while Salah is inclined towards extending his stay at Liverpool, he has yet to finalize a new agreement.

However, the prospect of Salah signing a contract extension could potentially signal the end of Luis Diaz’s tenure at Anfield, as reported by The Sun. Several Spanish clubs are reportedly monitoring the Colombian winger, with Liverpool prepared to entertain offers for Diaz if they manage to secure Salah’s commitment to a new deal.

The current depth in Liverpool’s attacking ranks has been cited as a plausible rationale behind the club’s willingness to consider Diaz’s departure this summer. Nonetheless, a definitive decision regarding Diaz’s future is unlikely to be made until a successor to Jurgen Klopp is appointed.

Klopp is set to depart from his role as head coach at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, with Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso currently the frontrunner to succeed him at Anfield.

Should Liverpool opt to part ways with Diaz during the upcoming transfer window, it could pave the way for Barcelona to secure their ideal left winger.
