Against Arne Slot's wishes, Liverpool "considers" selling a key player for £68 million.

By D one

Although the club will "consider" a deal if their €80 million or £68 million valuation is satisfied and one team is prepared to do so, Arne Slot "would rather not sell" a player who has just had the best season of his Liverpool career to date.

Arne Slot will get his first opportunity to reshape Liverpool's team in his image during the forthcoming summer transfer window. 

Caoimhin Kelleher's sale will be prompted by Giorgi Mamardashvili's arrival from Valencia, but that's only the beginning.
Along with reinforcements at centre-back, left-back, and striker, a new right-back to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold is also being sought.

Depending on the future of Luis Diaz, who is still oddly underpaid at Anfield, a new left winger might also arrive. Even though he is still on the conditions he agreed to when he joined from FC Porto three and a half years ago, the Colombian currently makes only £55,000 a week.

Diaz and his team are hoping for a new and better deal, and the winger's impressive performances this season have greatly benefited their negotiating position. In fact, Diaz has contributed 16 goals and 8 assists in all competitions.

Since Diaz relocated to Merseyside, both of those numbers represent single-season highs. Saudi Arabia is genuinely interested in Diaz, though, and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has acknowledged that there is a good chance Diaz may go this summer.

Reds manager Slot is adamantly opposed to the possible transfer of Diaz, per a recent update from Caught Offside.
 
However, if a price of €80 million or £68 million is put forward, the club may defy their boss and "consider a sale.
Liverpool would make a big profit on the £50 million (add-ons included) they paid to sign Diaz in 2022 if they received a bid of similar magnitude.

Al-Hilal, a Saudi team that is also in the running to sign Darwin Nunez, is reportedly willing to "pay big" to acquire Diaz. Contract negotiations for Luis Diaz are planned. In April, TBR Football revealed that Diaz would love to STAY at Anfield. 

However, as previously stated, staying with Liverpool depends on agreeing to a new contract with significantly better conditions. 

In 2027, Diaz's current contract expires. According to a recent report by Sky Sports News, negotiations to finalise a contract extension have been scheduled for the end of the current campaign.

Let's just bring you some breaking news from Liverpool," their correspondent stated on May 2. Luis Diaz was the driving force behind the comeback [against Spurs] on Sunday, and Liverpool will discuss extending his contract with the team at the end of this season.

With Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold all in the last year of their contracts, this season has been dominated by discussions about Liverpool contracts.

Salah and the captain have both inked new contracts, and it appears that Liverpool will try to prolong Luis Diaz's tenure at the club after he joined from Porto in January 2022 and had a fantastic season at Anfield."
 
If Al-Hilal does come in with a sizable proposal, the outcome of those negotiations will have a significant impact on whether Liverpool reluctantly decides to cash in.

Manchester United’s summer shake-up is well underway—and the transfer merry-go-round is spinning faster than ever. While Marcus Rashford has already sealed a surprising loan move to Barcelona, all eyes are now on another big name: Antony . The Brazilian winger's future at Old Trafford hangs in the balance, and with his European options dwindling, Saudi Arabia’s top clubs are now preparing to swoop in. Let’s break down what’s really going on, who wants Antony, why his dream return to Spain has fallen apart—and how it all fits into United’s wider transfer drama. Antony Could Be Next Out the Door at Man Utd Manchester United look set to enter the new season with a very different squad from last year. Rashford’s departure was just the beginning. Now, Antony , Jadon Sancho , Alejandro Garnacho , and Tyrell Malacia are all believed to be on the exit list. Among them, Antony has become the center of the latest transfer buzz.

A frightening sixth Liverpool summer acquisition is "close," with Slot being praised for a "no brainer" move.

According to several journalists and commentators, Liverpool is "close" to reaching a personal terms deal to recruit Marc Guehi. However, the Reds have been cautioned that the acquisition of the England player may mean the exit of an Arne Slot favourite. Even though the Premier championship champions won the championship by a margin of ten points during Slot's first season as manager, the Dutchman is still going after the transfer market this summer.  Milos Kerkez will join Giorgi Mamardashvili (who signed a deal last summer), Jeremie Frimpong, Armin Pecsi, and Florian Wirtz as new Liverpool players after his transfer to the club was finalised and an announcement is anticipated soon. Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are far from finished, even though they have signed five players.  It is increasingly thought that they still want two more before the market closes on Monday, September 1.  Additionally, they are still keeping an eye out for a new striker and defende...

Fabrizio Romano confirms the unexpected fresh Antony inquiry as the Manchester United outcast selects his next team.

After a surprising Serie A team approached for the services of undesired winger Antony, Manchester United's ambitions of starting a bidding war over him are gaining momentum. Fabrizio Romano has also made it clear where the Brazilian sees himself next season. The 16-time Brazil captain hardly ever gave the Manchester United supporters any proof of why Erik ten Hag had persuaded the board to pay the second-highest sum in the club's history for the winger when he went from Ajax in the summer of 2022. It was not surprising when the Red Devils let him go after he had a dismal return of 17 goal contributions (12 goals, five assists) in 96 appearances. He spent the final half of the 2024–25 season on loan at Real Betis. However, the player's confidence was greatly boosted by the move to La Liga, and Antony found a manager in Manuel Pellegrini who could bring his hidden brilliance to light.  With 14 goals in just 26 games for the Andalusian team, he helped lead Los Verdiblancos to...
