Paris Saint-Germain is already contemplating a future without Kylian Mbappe, as the forward appears poised to make a move to Real Madrid this summer.
The French club is considering alternatives, and one potential replacement could come from Liverpool.
Mbappe’s impending departure from PSG, as his contract concludes, has initiated discussions for a free transfer to Real Madrid, with an agreement anticipated soon.
PSG, acknowledging Mbappe’s exit, has initiated scouting for replacements, leading to speculation about players like Rafael Leao, Marcus Rashford, and Lamine Yamal.
However, securing these players might pose challenges, prompting PSG to consider Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as a viable option, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
Diaz has faced adversity this season, navigating through personal turmoil following his father’s kidnapping and recovering from a significant injury. As Liverpool braces for Jurgen Klopp’s departure, they are wary of introducing further instability, particularly with the looming interest in Mohamed Salah. Despite his setbacks, Diaz, who joined Liverpool for an initial €45 million, has become a beloved figure among fans, showcasing his prowess with 14 Premier League goals in 57 appearances.
Although sidelined for six months last year due to a knee injury, Diaz has become indispensable to Klopp’s squad, featuring prominently in matches. With Virgil van Dijk being the only outfield player to log more minutes than Diaz this season, the Colombian forward has gradually regained form, contributing six goals and two assists in his last 14 appearances across various competitions. Despite occasional struggles with finishing, Diaz remains committed to Liverpool, with three years remaining on his contract. PSG would need to present a substantial offer to test Liverpool’s resolve in retaining Diaz beyond the summer.
