Liverpool are reportedly \u2018closely monitoring\u2019 a Real Madrid superstar for a \u2018very expensive\u2019 transfer as a replacement for Luis Diaz, who looks to be leaving.<\/p>\n
The Reds have seen some big moves in forward areas this summer. They needed to recruit a striker after the untimely passing of Diogo Jota, and it\u2019s believed Hugo Ekitike will soon be a Liverpool<\/a> player.<\/p>\n In behind him, they have signed Florian Wirtz, and there is still the potential of a move out on the left flank.<\/p>\n Colombian winger Diaz has seemingly been angling for a move away from Anfield this summer, and a recent report suggested that Liverpool and Bayern Munich are \u2018optimistic\u2019 that they can reach an agreement<\/a> over his transfer, with a \u00a365million price mooted.<\/p>\n Transfer insider Florian Plettenberg<\/a> has reported that the Reds are \u2018closely monitoring\u2019 Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo<\/a>, who is a candidate to be signed on the wing \u2018in case Diaz leaves\u2019.<\/p>\n Liverpool are \u2018informed about conditions and current status\u2019 and Real would be open to selling him for a \u2018very expensive\u2019 price. That has previously been reported as approximately \u00a386.8million.<\/p>\n If the Reds are to make a good sum from the sale of Diaz, then it seems there\u2019s a chance they could finance a deal for Rodrygo.<\/p>\n However, they have already shelled around \u00a3185million this summer, with another \u00a369million soon coming, and they have only made just over \u00a350million from the sales of a few players.<\/p>\n As such, they might not be able to spend such a large fee without being in danger of trouble with the Premier League\u2019s financial rules.<\/p>\n MORE ON LIVERPOOL FROM F365:
