Diaz was a standout performer in Liverpool’s impressive campaign last season. But, the club has another plan in place. If Diaz does move on, Liverpool are likely to go all-in for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo. The Madrid star is a player Arsenal have been eyeing for months.
The Brazilian forward could be the perfect replacement at Anfield. He will bring flair and finishing power to Arne Slot’s new-look attack.
Liverpool and Arsenal in Battle for Brazilian Star
Arsenal have been tracking Rodrygo for some time now. They see him as a key piece to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s squad ahead of another title run. But if Diaz moves on, then Liverpool could jump into the race and try to hijack the deal.
Although, Rodrygo has not asked to leave Madrid yet. However, his influence has become limited under new manager Xabi Alonso. So, that is a worrying sign for his long-term future at the Bernabeu.
Rodrygo may be prompted to consider the Premier League. Liverpool and Arsenal are both offering starting roles and great deals as well. Although, the Reds are not in a hurry to sell Diaz. They will consider selling him only if a top offer comes in and he decides to leave.
If that happens. it would instantly put them in the market for a high-profile winger. So, it will likely make Rodrygo their top target. That could seriously dent Arsenal’s hopes. The Gunners now face the possibility of losing their top target to a direct rival.
