Liverpool have not yet made any signings in the summer transfer window, but there are reportedly discussions about bringing in a wide player to the team.

Liverpool have already indicated that this summer’s transfer window will not be particularly busy. However, it could still become significant for the club.

With the Copa America and European Championship occupying much of June and July, many players are still facing uncertain futures despite pre-season training being well underway.

The Reds are particularly aware of this, as several players will remain on holiday until early August. For clubs across Europe, these delayed returns might only last a few weeks, which could also be the situation at Kirkby.

Luis Diaz has been the subject of speculation about his future both this summer and last. A year ago, it was the Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal; now, it is Barcelona. No offers have been made yet, similar to last year.

Regardless, the club has no intention of selling Diaz. But perhaps they should consider it.

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Mohamed Salah were more effective in front of goal than their teammate last season. Despite this, the Reds could potentially receive double the £37 million they paid Porto for Diaz two-and-a-half years ago.

The Colombian international will turn 28 midway through the upcoming campaign, making this summer one of the last opportunities to cash in, especially with three years remaining on his contract.

A ready-made replacement is available in Nico Williams. The Spanish international not only has a £49 million release clause but is also five-and-a-half years younger than Diaz.

Selling Diaz could free up funds to cover the necessary agent fees and wages to secure Williams from Athletic Club. This move could leave Arne Slot with a dream attack featuring Gakpo, Jota, Nunez, Salah, and Williams.
