The rationale is strategic: Liverpool want Julian Alvarez in return.

The Argentine forward, currently thriving under Diego Simeone, is viewed internally as the ideal No.9 for Arne Slot’s system.

The 25-year-old has flourished at Atletico with 27 goals in 51 appearances this season and boasts an estimated transfer value of £104.7 million.

But Liverpool believe they hold crucial leverage in this pursuit.

Now, with Liverpool slashing their asking price for Atletico alone, a mutually beneficial deal could be forged.

Alvarez’s profile fits perfectly with what Liverpool are seeking: a dynamic, technically secure forward who can press, create, and score.

Alvarez shares strong ties with South American scouts Gonzalo Siegrist and Fernando Troiani, while his friendship with Alexis mac Allister – cemented during Argentina’s World Cup win – could prove pivotal in persuading him to return to England.

Though Alvarez is settled in Spain, Liverpool are quietly confident.

They offer him a starring role at a globally renowned club, a system tailored to his strengths, and familiar faces both on and off the pitch.

If Darwin Nunez chooses footballing ambition over Saudi riches, and Atletico agree to swap, Liverpool could finally land the forward they believe is made for the Slot era.

The message is clear: Liverpool are moving with purpose.

Julian Alvarez is not just a target – he’s the statement signing to spearhead a new chapter.
