The future of Luis Diaz at Liverpool is up in the air heading into the summer transfer window.

However, Diaz could leave Liverpool at the end of the season due to his contract expiring in 2027, and there are doubts over whether the Merseyside club will offer the player new terms after turning 28 this year.

Barcelona have held a long-term interest in Diaz and according to a new update from Fabrizio Romano, the Colombia international is on the Catalan club’s list for the summer.

I am also told Diaz would be open to trying a new experience in Spain.”

With that in mind, here are three players RTK believe could replace Diaz at Anfield should the winger’s time at Liverpool come to an end this summer.

Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon was a top target for Liverpool last summer and therefore, would be the realistic place for the Reds to start if they need to replace Diaz this summer.

Should Barcelona sign Diaz, that would free Liverpool to make a move for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams as the Catalan club is believed to be the Spanish star’s preferred destination if he is to leave Bilbao this summer.

That is a very fair price for the 22-year-old as the Euro 2024 winner has the potential to go on and become a superstar in European football.

The winger can play on either side, which will be very beneficial when Mohamed Salah goes to the Africa Cup of Nations, which only adds to the reasons why Liverpool should make a move for the La Liga talent during the upcoming transfer window.

Liverpool have been linked with RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons this week as the Dutch star can be signed during the summer for a transfer fee of around £67m (€80m).

Simons is a player Liverpool have liked for a long time with journalist Yvonne Gabriel stating last summer that the Reds were “extremely keen on him” as there is a good connection to Reds boss Arne Slot.

The 21-year-old is not a natural winger and is normally deployed as a ten at Leipzig, however, his ability to do both is what differentiates him from other targets and his versatility would be very useful to Liverpool next season.
