Liverpool have one of the best attacking forces in the Premier League, but as the season progressed, their decision-making rate in front of goal declined significantly.
Despite creating chances, they have failed to find the back of the net in many games and have missed out on many victories.
Mohamed Salah, still the ace of the club, is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, in addition to his age, while Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are also being linked with moves to Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
James Pearce touched on the future of Liverpool’s front three, making it clear that Salah and Nunez will remain at Anfield beyond next season, but also hinted at the Colombian winger’s departure, saying he would not know if a big offer arrives.
“As things stand, I’m expecting all three to stay,”
“But if I had to pick one, I’d say Diaz. Salah has given Liverpool no indication that he’s looking to move and the Saudi Pro League believes it will have a better chance of signing him in summer 2025, when he could be a free agent.”
“Nunez endured a bad end to the season, but Slot’s arrival marks a fresh start for him and Liverpool still have faith in him.”
“Diaz feels like a slightly different situation as there’s been so much noise around him with talk of interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona well as Saudi Arabia. Whether that leads to a serious bid or Diaz pushes for a move, only time will tell.”
“But it would take a big offer, certainly well in excess of the £50million they paid Porto for him in January 2022, to convince Liverpool that selling the Colombian makes sense.”
