Liverpool are likely making it their priority to try and find players that they can sell from their first-team squad this summer.

Arne Slot and Richard Hughes have spent a hefty chunk of change improving their ranks over the last few weeks, with Jarell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher being the only major exits thus far.

And, while they may have brought in £50million worth of fees, Liverpool will have spent close to £300million on new additions if Hugo Ekitike arrives, so much more money will need to be raised.

And, even though Liverpool don’t want to sell certain players such as Luis Diaz this summer, there’s a price for everyone with the Reds’ stance set to be tested soon.

Christian Falk believes it will take £69 million for talks to be entertained for Luis Diaz

Diaz is seen as one of Liverpool’s best attackers by Slot, with the Dutchman doing everything he can to try and keep him at Anfield.

The attacker contributed to 25 goals across all competitions last season, while he was mostly played out of position at striker.

And now, as per a fresh report from Christian Falk, the fee that would make Liverpool start to listen is worth around £69million.

“In the case of Luis Diaz, you never know how willing Liverpool are to enter into negotiations, but Diaz has communicated to Bayern Munich yet again that he wants to join them,” he said.

“We expect that about €80m [£69.2m] will be required for Liverpool to entertain a first round of talks.”

Liverpool should consider selling Luis Diaz if they get a £70million+ for him

There’s no denying that Diaz is a stellar talent, with the Colombian being one of the best players at the club last season.

However, seeing as though he only has two years left on his current deal, this summer is going to be the last time that Liverpool can get a decent fee for him, that is, if they don’t extend his stay, of course.

A new report from German outlet BILD has also just shared that things are now ‘really moving forward’ with ‘concrete negotiations’ between the two clubs expected to start soon.

However, if Slot really does want to keep him next season, the best way for him to do that would be to extend his stay.

But, if they don’t do that and allow him to run his contract down next season, they’d just end up missing out on £70million, which could be put towards new signings such as Rodrygo or even just help them put some of the money they’ve spent back.

Of course, only time will tell what the future has in store, but after what happened with Trent Alexander-Arnold at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, losing him for free is something everyone will want to avoid.
