Ruben Amorim is about to do Liverpool a massive favour | OneFootball

Liverpool have already been linked with a whole host of new players this summer.

The Anfield outfit are in dire need of reinforcements after their performances from the 2025-26 season were less than ideal.

Most people thought they'd be challenging for the Premier League title but, in reality, they only just scraped Champions League qualification.

Now, this wasn't because of a lack of quality among their ranks as, during the summer, they spent over £450 million.

However, things such as injuries and a lack of cohesion clearly affected the way that things panned out and, now that Andoni Iraola is in charge, even more change is on the way.

But, since almost every other big club in the world wants the same players Liverpool do, deals aren't going to be straight forward with former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim now actually doing the Reds a favour.

Ruben Amorim wants to sign Francisco Trincao for AC Milan

One of the main areas that Liverpool need to upgrade this summer is their attack.

Now that Mohamed Salah is gone and Hugo Ekitike is out injured, Iraola clearly needs some new attackers to help get his team back on track.

Indeed, Victor Munoz has already been signed as an option for Liverpool to use but, with the future of Cody Gakpo under scrutiny, there could be even more changes on the way.

This lack of knowing has led to many attackers being linked with a Liverpool move including Juventus' Francisco Trincao.

La Gazzetta dello Sport sharing an insight into the Portugal international's future.

"Up front, Francisco Trincao, another of Amorim's players at Sporting, remains a strong candidate," they wrote.

Why Ruben Amorim is doing Liverpool a favour by trying to sign Francisco Trincao

Although Trincao is an exceptional player, there are better options on the market for Liverpool.

The attacker is 26 years old and, since Juventus don't want to sell him, he'll command a rather hefty fee despite not having the best of seasons this term.

Other targets such as Yan Diomande would be much better options for Liverpool to explore because, even though he'd be double the price, he has much more potential and is already a much better player.

And, if Amorim takes the option of Trincao off the market by making a move for him after Rafael Leao is sold, it means that Liverpool could be forced into moving forward with a deal for Diomande.

The Ivorian is the exact sort of player that Liverpool need this season as, even though he's only played in the Bundesliga for one season, his quality is evident.

Indeed, Trincao could hit the ground running easier since he's more experienced but, on the face of things, making a move for Diomande makes the most sense out of all their recently-linked players.

Even if he will end up costing the club an arm and a leg.
