Liverpool Fans Name the Player the Club Will Regret Selling the Most in 2025 – There's an Obvious Winner

A recent fan poll conducted by Rousing The Kop has revealed that Liverpool supporters overwhelmingly believe the club will rue the sale of one particular player above all others in 2025, with a clear frontrunner emerging from the summer transfer window.[1][4][6]

The survey asked thousands of Reds fans to name the departed star whose absence has hurt the team most under Arne Slot. Coming out on top with 58% of the vote was Luis Diaz, the Colombian winger sold to Bayern Munich earlier this year. Fans cited his explosive form in Germany, where he's been pivotal in Bayern's dominant Bundesliga campaign, including multiple goals and assists that have transformed their attack. GOAL even named Diaz the best signing in Europe for 2025, highlighting Liverpool's blunder in cashing in on him despite initial excitement over the hefty fee.[4]

Diaz edged out other contenders like Jarell Quansah (22%), who has shone at center-back for a rival Premier League side, providing versatility at both CB and RB—options sorely missed amid Ibrahima Konate's poor form and Giovanni Leoni's ACL injury, leaving Slot with just four senior defenders.[1] Harvey Elliott (12%) was third, with supporters lamenting his potential on the right wing or midfield amid Liverpool's attacking struggles, as Cody Gakpo and others falter.[1]

Other mentions included Darwin Nunez (5%), part of the trio of experienced players (with Diaz and Quansah) offloaded for profit but now thriving elsewhere, costing Liverpool two major trophies according to fan analysis.[6] Philippe Coutinho's historic sale drew nostalgic votes (3%), with Jurgen Klopp recently admitting regret over losing the creative genius he wanted for a decade.[2]

Fans expressed frustration over Slot's transfer decisions, noting Liverpool's dip from last season's highs—Mohamed Salah off-peak, Virgil van Dijk and Konate underperforming—while sold stars excel. A buy-back clause exists for Quansah, but Diaz's irreplaceable pace and output sting most. "We got the money, but lost our edge," one voter said.[1][3]
