Liverpool are considering a move for Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez if Diogo Jota leaves this summer. The Portuguese forward faces an uncertain future as manager Arne Slot prepares a squad overhaul.
The Reds are in search for numerous aspiring and established talents to hail their upcoming future. Certain talents are being scouted and targeted for the upcoming transfer window. As transfer rumours have arrived at Anfield’s doorstep for some senior players

Jota has been a crucial player since joining Liverpool from Wolves in 2020. However, persistent injuries have limited his availability. Newcastle United previously showed interest in signing him.

Now, Arsenal are also reportedly monitoring his situation. With Liverpool possibly offloading several senior players, Jota could be among those leaving. As this season has been challenging for him due to injuries, leading to limited playtime.
Option from La Liga
If Jota departs, Alvarez appears to be the perfect replacement. The Argentine forward joined Atletico Madrid from Manchester City in 2024, as per Transfermarkt.
He has adapted well to La Liga, showcasing his finishing ability and versatility in attack. Alvarez can play across the front line, making him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s attacking system.
Liverpool previously tried to sign Alvarez last summer, but negotiations with Manchester City were difficult. Now, with him at Atletico, the Reds might find a transfer more feasible. However, securing his signature will not be easy, as Atletico Madrid invested heavily in him.
Slot is keen to add dynamic attacking options, and Alvarez’s ability to press, dribble, and score makes him a strong candidate. Liverpool would likely need to submit a significant offer to persuade Atletico to sell.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Liverpool’s interest in Alvarez will intensify. Whether they can secure the Argentine forward depends on Jota’s situation and their willingness to meet Atletico’s demands. Fans will eagerly watch how Liverpool reshapes its attack under Slot.
