Liverpool are strongly open to the idea of selling Diogo Jota in the summer with a €50-55 million price tag placed on the Portuguese attacker.
According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are ready to sell Diogo Jota for a sizeable fee in the summer. The Merseysiders are reportedly demanding around €50-55 million for the Premier League winner, as there are doubts if any of the interested parties will pay as much for the Portuguese attacker.
Liverpool are expected to embark on an important summer transfer window, with plenty of changes likely to materialise at the club. Arne Slot will be looking to make fundamental changes in multiple positions, with early reports stating the Dutchman is eager to overhaul the attacking setup.
The renewal of Mohamed Salah was a key decision by the club and now they will focus on changing things in the other attacking positions. There are already rumours about selling Darwin Nunez as well as Luis Diaz, while Diogo Jota’s position has also come under a cloud of doubt.
Jota has been a key man for Arne Slot this season, and despite that, the club are willing to sell him to ensure there are funds to strengthen the team in the summer. Liverpool are demanding €50-55 million for the 28-year-old versatile attacker, although there are doubts if any of the suitors are likely to pay as much.
The big issue with Jota is not his output in the team, which has been underwhelming for the style of football Liverpool play. The main problem is his race with fitness, as the 28-year-old versatile attacker has been too injury-prone since arriving from Wolves, who incidentally are one of the interested parties.
Who are interested in Diogo Jota?
Many of the interested clubs may look to sign Jota, but they may walk away from any deal if Liverpool does not reduce their asking price. Saudi clubs are keen on the Portuguese attacker, while there might be some Premier League teams interested as well. Newcastle United held an admiration, although any move from the Mgpies will depend on their ability to keep hold of Liverpool-target Alexander Isak.
Liverpool are not expected to offer Jota a new deal, which is a big indication of their willingness to listen to offers for the 28-year-old versatile attacker. Moreover, he will enter the final two years of his deal, meaning the summer represents the best time for Liverpool to cash in, although there are doubts about their ability to sell unless they reduce their asking price.
