Liverpool are reportedly considering a long-awaited £60m push to sign a Premier League star. They’re weighing it up
Liverpool Eye Eberechi Eze as Luis Diaz Pushes for Summer Exit
Liverpool are entering a challenging stretch this summer, with Luis Diaz reportedly prepared to push for a move away from Anfield. The Colombian star is said to favour a transfer to Barcelona or Bayern Munich, with both clubs maintaining a strong interest.
While Liverpool remain reluctant to lose one of their key attackers, there’s growing acceptance that if the right bid comes, a deal may happen. As things stand, only clubs from Saudi Arabia have come close to the Reds’ asking price — but Diaz’s interest in a Middle East switch remains uncertain.
Eze on Liverpool’s Radar
If Diaz does leave, Liverpool will act swiftly to secure a suitable replacement — someone capable of playing off the left flank and offering flexibility in central roles.
According to The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, the Reds are weighing up a move for Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze, a long-time target at Anfield. The 27-year-old has a £60 million release clause, and that figure is believed to be enough to get a deal done.
Arsenal or Anfield?
While Arsenal have been heavily linked with Eze, the report claims Liverpool’s interest is genuine and now picking up pace. Sources close to the situation suggest the Reds could make a serious push, particularly with the possibility of Diaz’s departure.
FA Cup Hero and Premier League Star
Eze is coming off a career-best campaign with Palace, having led the club to FA Cup glory and scoring the winning goal in the final against Manchester City. With Michael Olise joining Bayern Munich, Eze stepped up as the team’s talisman and didn’t disappoint.
He offers something Liverpool could sorely need: a homegrown player in the prime of his career, capable of contributing creatively and carrying the ball with confidence. A natural fit under Arne Slot’s dynamic style.
One to Watch
If Diaz does move on, Liverpool won’t waste time. Eze ticks multiple boxes — Premier League-proven, homegrown, and versatile. This could be the move that helps the Reds transition into a new attacking era.
Rest in peace, Diogo Jota. Forever a Red.
