Luiz has reportedly not turned up for pre-season training with Juve, and is said to have been courting interest from Liverpool in ‘recent weeks’. The Italians are claimed to be looking for £35m to sell the former Aston Villa man.

Liverpool are looking to re-ignite interest in Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon if Luis Díaz leaves this summer. Transfer Talk has the latest news, gossip and rumors.

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes would love to bring Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with Rodrygo the second-choice target.

Hughes and Liverpool would be there to pounce if that is what he decides, suggesting they might not actually replace Diaz straight away. Losing a player of Diaz’s quality would be a huge blow but replacing him is not a necessity as the Reds have plenty of quality options.

Liverpool fans are convinced they already have an ideal replacement for Luis Diaz at Anfield after seeing their team in friendly action against AC Milan on Saturday. Arne Slot’s Reds took on Massimiliano Allegri’s Rossoneri at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Sports Park in the 12:30pm BST kick-off.

Liverpool have lined up a €130m (£113m) 'offer' for Vinicius Junior to replace Luis Diaz at Anfield this summer, according to reports.
