Colombian international forward Luis Diaz is increasingly used as a centre-forward for Liverpool. On the left wing, his main position, Dutch international Cody Gakpo is continuously scoring goals and has a solid structure.
However, Barcelona are said to be interested in the Colombian forward, and it cannot be ruled out that he may seek a move to the club he has admired since childhood. Coach Arne Slot has no intention of releasing him, but the media are stirring.
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have listed AC Milan’s Portuguese international Rafael Leão as a possible replacement in case of a move, and are preparing to make an offer in the summer transfer window.
AC Milan have no intention of letting go of their absolute ace and are bullish in their negotiations, with the club expected to demand as much as €100 million for the attacker, who is under contract until June 2028.
The 25-year-old winger, who moved to Italy from Lille in 2019, has scored 68 goals and provided 53 assists in 248 games. He has continued to lead the attack this season with 10 goals and eight assists in 38 games through Serie A and the Champions League.
The attacker, who dribbles with a big stride, creates chances from the left flank and is also highly decisive in front of goal. He is certainly one of the best attacking players in the world, so it is no surprise that he is keen to test himself in the top flight.
Could the Portuguese winger have a future playing at Anfield?
