As Liverpool gear up for a fresh era under Arne Slot, major transfer developments are unfolding at Anfield. With Bayern Munich intensifying their pursuit of Luis Diaz, the Reds are weighing potential replacements — and Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon is emerging as a serious candidate.
Bayern Ready to Test Liverpool’s Resolve Over Diaz
German giants Bayern Munich have set their sights on Liverpool winger Luis Diaz and are reportedly preparing a fresh bid worth up to €80 million. The Bundesliga champions have already had a €67.5 million offer turned down, but they remain undeterred.
According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, Bayern are poised to return with an improved proposal, hoping to lure the Colombian international to the Allianz Arena. Diaz is said to be open to the move, and the coming days could be pivotal in determining his future.
Diaz Among Key Reds Drawing External Interest
While Liverpool are building under new boss Arne Slot — who stunningly led the Reds to a Premier League title in his debut season — there’s increasing focus on potential outgoings. Alongside Diaz, players like Ibrahima Konaté, Darwin Núñez, and Harvey Elliott are attracting attention from Europe’s elite.
Despite bringing in talents like Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and soon-to-arrive striker Hugo Ekitike, the club’s transfer activity might soon shift toward reinforcing positions vacated by departures.
Anthony Gordon on Liverpool’s Radar Again
Should Diaz depart, Liverpool are expected to act swiftly to bolster their left flank. While Real Madrid’s Rodrygo has been floated as a possible replacement, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon is quickly becoming a top contender.
TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey suggests Gordon remains firmly in Liverpool’s plans:
“If Diaz goes, I wouldn’t rule Gordon out. He’s very much part of the conversation.”
The 23-year-old winger has long been linked with Liverpool, and his strong Merseyside ties — having supported the club since childhood — add fuel to the speculation. Though Gordon isn’t unhappy at Newcastle, his inconsistent end to last season may have opened the door to a potential move.
A Return to Merseyside Looks Likely
Gordon’s admiration for Liverpool and his desire to represent his boyhood club are no secret. Bailey even described a transfer to Anfield as “inevitable,” whether this summer or further down the line. With Liverpool closely monitoring Diaz’s situation and Gordon firmly on their radar, a significant reshuffle in attack could be on the horizon.
