Liverpool have been as busy as anyone in this transfer window. They’ve made the headline signing, after all: Florian Wirtz.
The Reds paid a club-record amount to sign the playmaker from Bayer Leverkusen. The deal could even reach British-record levels, should add-ons be met.
We’ve seen Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike arrive, too. Those deals combined take Liverpool well over £200m spent this summer in what’s by far the biggest window in the club’s history.
The mad thing is, the Reds are looking to make this the biggest in the other direction, too. They’ve already made some great sales and now another is on the way.
And it’ll double their money.
The Times are one of many saying a deal for Luis Diaz with Bayern Munich is now incredibly close. They write that £65.6m deal is on the cards, with only details being ironed out.
Diaz is currently off with Liverpool on their pre-season tour, where they’ve just arrived in Japan. Despite that, the Colombian is now fully expected to leave the Reds permanently.
Diaz didn’t feature against AC Milan on Saturday and almost certainly won’t wear the club’s colours again. We’ve got to say, though – it’s a fantastic amount for a player turning 29 and who wasn’t going to sign a new contract.
