Liverpool’s attacking make-up is less than clear as we tick into August this summer.

Darwin Nunez’s place is under intense scrutiny after an underwhelming campaign yielded just five Premier League goals, triggering renewed transfer interest from AC Milan, Napoli and Al-Hilal.

Liverpool reportedly value him at around €60 million despite his contract running until 2028.

Luis Diaz, fresh from a career-best 13-goal haul, has informed the club he expects them to accept Bayern Munich’s advances unless his promised contract extension materialises, casting doubt on his commitment to remain at Anfield beyond 2025–26.

Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, was conspicuously omitted from the pre-season squad in Hong Kong.

It was reported that the Italian was dealing with a minor injury, but conflicting reports have suggested it’s because he clearly told Arne Slot he is leaving this summer.

Serie A sides such as Atalanta, Napoli and Juventus are now circling for a loan or permanent deal

Sport Italia reported earlier this week that Atalanta are preparing a €12M bid for the Italian.

Now Corriere della Sera have claimed that Italy boss Gennaro Gattuso has urged the winger to seek regular club football if he hopes to remain in national contention ahead of the World Cup.

Gattuso’s frank conversation is said to have dramatically shifted Chiesa’s stance, with the 27-year-old now intent on securing a move this summer.

Liverpool are prepared to cover a significant portion of Federico Chiesa’s wages to facilitate his prospective move, with current talks including the possibility of a three-year contract for the ex-Fiorentina and Juventus winger.

The prior Sport Italia report indicates the Reds are willing to pay roughly 50% of his salary if he departs Anfield this summer, smoothing the path for a Serie A return.

It’s worth noting Liverpool brought Chiesa in just last year for a €12 million fee.
