Liverpool Eye £38m ‘Bargain’ Winger as Díaz Heir
The transfer window is heating up, and Liverpool have reportedly joined the chase for one of Europe’s most exciting attacking prospects – a player Spanish media are touting as a “more complete and cost-effective alternative” to Real Madrid star Rodrygo.
Valued at £38m, the winger has been earmarked as a potential long-term replacement for Luis Díaz, whose future is uncertain amid mounting interest from La Liga and Saudi Arabia. Liverpool’s recruitment team are wasting no time, moving quickly to prepare for a possible front-line reshuffle.
Scouts describe the target as “exceptional in one-on-one duels, intelligent in possession, and devastating on the counter,” with a playing style that mirrors Rodrygo’s explosive pace, dribbling flair, and clinical finishing – but at less than half the Brazilian’s reported £80m price tag.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool are determined to refresh their attack while keeping the high-intensity, direct football that has defined them in recent years. The player is said to be open to the move, excited by the idea of becoming a central figure in the Reds’ next era.
If completed, the signing could mark the start of a major attacking evolution at Anfield – one that cushions any potential Díaz departure and gives Liverpool a sharp edge over Premier League and European rivals.
