Liverpool are reportedly ready to part ways with Luis Diaz to make room for Newcastle United star winger Anthony Gordon.
According to a report from Football Insider, Liverpool are ready to sanction the departure of Luis Diaz before the end of the transfer window as they look to make room for the potential signing of Anthony Gordon. The Reds have been looking for an upgrade on left flank, and they feel the Newcastle winger is the ideal fit for the role.
Gordon came up the ranks at Everton and made a name for himself while playing for their first team before joining Newcastle United in the winter of 2023. He has only gone from strength to strength in the last 18 months and has established himself as one of the most exciting young wingers in the Premier League.
While he still has two years left on his deal at the Tyneside club, Liverpool are keen on prising him away. The Reds have held talks with the Magpies earlier in the window about a player-exchange deal involving Gordon. The deal did not go through, but the Merseyside club have retained their interest in the English winger.
They want to bring in a young and more dynamic winger who can lead their attack from the left. Arne Slot’s team might not have made any signings so far. But they are working on some massive deal which could surely strengthen their team. They are looking to add Martin Zubimendi and Teun Koopmeiners to their squad before the end of the window.
Liverpool ready to sell Diaz to sign Gordon
Heading into the final phase, their interest in Gordon remains intact, and the report suggests they are ready to sell Luis Diaz to make room for the 23-year-old. Despite having raised £27.5 million from the sale of Fabio Carvalho to Brentford, they are willing to let the Colombian leave if an interest club is ready to meet their £50 million price tag.
Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain were both keen on his signature early in the window. But, both clubs have since shifted their attention towards other targets. As a result, it will be interesting to see if they can find a buyer in time. This deal could have a huge say on whether they make a move for Gordon in the final weeks of the transfer window.
