Footballwave suggests that Liverpool is gearing up to make an offer for AC Milan’s Rafael Leao and is contemplating including current standout Luis Diaz as part of a potential player-plus-cash deal.

It’s anticipated that the Premier League club could propose a combination of cash and player exchange in their bid to acquire the services of the Portuguese forward.
However, it remains uncertain whether Milan would entertain the idea of selling Leao, especially considering his significant contribution of 19 appearances for the club thus far in the ongoing season.
