Liverpool are gearing up for life without Luis Diaz, who is expected to join Bayern Munich this summer.
The Colombian winger has been a key player for Liverpool over recent seasons, but the club is ready to respect his wish to leave Anfield and start a new chapter in his career.
Having already brought in attackers like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz this summer, Liverpool are seeking further additions to their forward line, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak firmly on their radar.
In addition to a new striker, the club is likely to pursue a winger this summer to fill the gap left by Diaz.
Liverpool target new winger to replace Luis Diaz
Liverpool are poised to make waves in the transfer market again, setting their sights on Malick Fofana, a promising 20-year-old winger from Lyon who has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs.
According to Fichajes, the Reds are considering a move for Fofana as part of their search for Diaz’s replacement.
Fofana has attracted interest from Nottingham Forest and Everton. Forest were initially close to securing a deal, with a bid accepted by Lyon, but talks fell through over personal terms. Everton later entered advanced negotiations with the player and the club.
Despite progress from these clubs, Liverpool could now intervene. With the lure of Champions League football and the need to replace Diaz after his move to Bayern, Liverpool’s offer presents an attractive option for Fofana.
The player reportedly favors a transfer to a club competing at the highest level in Europe, giving Liverpool an advantage in the race.
Lyon has set a £35 million asking price for Fofana. While this might be a hurdle for Forest and Everton, Liverpool have the financial capability to meet the valuation comfortably.
For now, Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation and may make a move soon, aiming to secure the deal before their rivals have a chance to respond.
