Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez and Diogo Jota have contributed just three goals in a combined 41 appearances – a situation that has left many fans hoping for attacking reinforcements come the summer transfer window.

Earlier this week, Winwin Sports journalist Ismael Mahmoud tweeted that LFC had made enquiries into the possibility of signing Argentina star Julián Alvarez last season, before his eventual move to Atlético Madrid.

Whether it was genuine interest from Liverpool last summer, or whether that interest still remains, or whether now it’s been intensified because they feel he’s at a club where they can prise him away more easily than they could at City.

“You look at the figure that he went to Atletico for – upwards of £85 million in the end, was it?

The fact that he’s no longer a City player probably makes things a bit smoother if Liverpool would be planning to either return to the table or visit the table for the first time, depending on who you believe.

“He’s a very good player, there’s no doubt about that.

He’s a little bit more versatile than an out-and-out striker, but he’s certainly good enough to play through the middle.”

With just nine games remaining of Arne Slot’s first season in charge of Liverpool, questions remain on the play style of his ideal number nine.

Julián Alvarez, however, would certainly fit the bill.

Alvarez was transferred for an exorbitant fee just last summer, so he would likely become Liverpool’s club record signing if he were to make the move.
