Liverpool’s transfer activity could take another dramatic turn as Luis Diaz edges closer to a move to Bayern Munich.

Reports from Marca, via Sport Witness, claim the Reds are now “increasingly likely” to make a move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo as a potential replacement.

The Colombian winger has reportedly agreed to join Bayern, prompting Liverpool to explore high-profile options to fill the gap.

Chelsea are said to have backed away from the deal for that very reason.

With 68 goals and 51 assists in 270 appearances for Madrid, Rodrygo offers elite-level experience.

However, with competition for attacking roles fierce at the Bernabeu, his game time next season may shrink, opening the door for a transfer.

The potential move comes just weeks after Liverpool sold Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, creating a pathway for further negotiations between the clubs.

The French defender is entering the final year of his contract and Madrid is monitoring his situation closely.

Meanwhile, Liverpool remain interested in Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.

This suggests that Arne Slot’s side are still not done in what has become a record-breaking summer of spending.

Rodrygo’s future is likely to become clearer when he returns to Madrid for pre-season next week, with talks expected to take place soon.
