Liverpool are making moves for some big signings but they could equally lose some key stars.

The Reds are never far away from the headlines and over the past few days, they have seen plenty of players linked to joining, as well as departing.

One star who seems all but nailed on to depart is winger Luis Diaz, as the Colombian has plenty of clubs interested and has also failed to swat away any rumours.

Bayern Munich had a bid immediately rejected for the 28-year-old that was worth around £58.5m, although the German giants are already preparing a new approach.

Barcelona still remain interested but will likely be unable to fund the move, while Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr are also keeping close tabs on the situation.

Having plenty of options to choose from is certainly flattering for the player, but his next move appears fairly obvious given his stance on the matter.

At 28, Diaz is in his prime and that has been evident as he had his best goalscoring season in a Liverpool shirt last season, netting 13 goals.

With that being said, he still has a lot to give and despite many players being tempted by the Saudi Arabian money, journalist David Lynch believes that his preference is to continue playing at the very highest level.

“It’s felt like all along in this story really that the likeliest club to put up the correct money to force Liverpool to sell would be Al Nassr,” Lynch told the Sports Mole YouTube channel.

“But I get the impression that the player would much prefer to stay in Europe, if possible, rather than go to Saudi at this moment.

“I just think Al Nassr would have come in with a bid by now if not and the fact we are still seeing this interest from European giants, I think that says a lot about the preference of the player.”

This is a preference that many football fans will respect, but with Liverpool the Premier League champions and appearing to build a super team to last, questions have been raised about why he would jump ship at this time.

Many South Americans dream of playing for the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona so that is understandable, but with Diaz very open to joining Bayern Munich, Reds fans will be very disappointed.

There is no doubt that Diaz is a phenomenal player and he brings something a little different from most to Liverpool, but, at the end of the day, he is replaceable.

Some players, such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, are simply one of a kind and no one would be able to replicate what they have done, but there are plenty of players on a similar level, if not better, than Diaz.

Liverpool are linked with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo as a replacement and he is a prime example of how they would be able to cope, with the Brazilian one of the best in the world in his position.

The Reds also have existing players ready to fill the void if he may leave, with Cody Gakpo also being more than capable of making that position his own next season.
