SHOKING NEWS:£50m will see Liverpool part with exciting attacker in order to fund transfer for Newcastle man….

Although the Reds and the Magpies haven’t done much this summer, there’s still time to close deals in some areas.

But with the 2024–25 season beginning this weekend, it’s probable that Eddie Howe and Arne Slot will want to avoid too much squad turnover when the opening whistle sounds for the season’s first game.

Liverpool will play their first game at Portman Road against Ipswich Town, while Newcastle will play Southampton, another promoted team.

Although Fichajes notes, citing rumors, the Reds are ready to accept a bid of around the £50m figure in order to part with their tricky Colombian attacker, Luis Diaz, those games are likely to come around far too quickly for certain agreements to go through.

Despite his obvious potential, Diaz has never really seemed to fit in at Anfield. He is one of those players who can be excellent one moment and horribly awful the next; possibly because of this inconsistent play, Liverpool decided that he might not be needed anymore.

Although it’s known that Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, a wide player, has long been on their wish list, neither Gordon nor the Magpies have ever encouraged the Merseyside team to make the move.

It will obviously be challenging to close the deal, but while there is still time to do so, Liverpool may believe they have a chance, especially since the player hasn’t publicly disavowed the rumors that are currently circulating.
