Barcelona boost? Liverpool have already identified Luis Díaz’s potential replacement | OneFootball

The brass at Premier League champions Liverpool are understood to have earmarked a leading target to replace Barcelona transfer target Luis Díaz at the club this summer.

This comes amid the understanding that the Reds are becoming increasingly resigned to losing their attacking star over the weeks ahead.

Wide-man Díaz is of course a man in-demand at present.

Amid respective searches for reinforcements out wide for next season, European heavyweights Barcelona and Bayern Munich have both set their sights firmly on the 28-year-old.

To date, Liverpool have stood firm in the face of such interest, adamant that Díaz will be going nowhere this summer.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word regarding the situation to have surfaced over the last 24 hours is anything to go by, then Barcelona and Bayern appear to have been afforded fresh hope of a deal.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘According to TalkSport journalist Alex Crook, who is well aware of the current events at the Anfield club, Liverpool are already moving to have a plan in place if the Colombian ends up leaving. The journalist highlights that the Reds have Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon in mind.’
