Liverpool have set their sights on Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz as a potential signing in the upcoming summer transfer window, with the Moroccan international viewed as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah.
According to Grada 3, the Reds are closely monitoring Diaz amid speculation that Salah could leave for the Saudi Pro League at the end of the season.
The Egyptian forward has been a pivotal figure at Anfield, and Liverpool are already considering options to fill the void if he departs.
A challenging pursuit for Liverpool
While Liverpool’s interest in Diaz is strong, prising him away from the Santiago Bernabéu will not be straightforward.
Despite not always being a regular starter under Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid remain reluctant to part ways with the 24-year-old.
“Liverpool are aware, however, that the task is going to be difficult given that Real refuse to let him leave despite often not featuring in Ancelotti’s starting XI,” the report states.
Diaz, who returned to Madrid in 2023 after a successful loan spell at AC Milan, has impressed with his technical ability and versatility.
His ability to operate across multiple attacking positions makes him an attractive option for Liverpool, should they need to reinforce their frontline.
Diaz celebrates Real Madrid milestone
While speculation over his future continues, Diaz recently celebrated reaching 100 appearances for Real Madrid, expressing his pride in representing the club.
“It’s a huge honour to be here, at the best club in the world. Reaching 100 games is something incredible. I feel great pride, both for myself and for my family. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. I hope to play many more games and achieve many more successes,” Diaz said.
The former Manchester City player also reaffirmed his deep connection to the Spanish giants.
“Real Madrid means everything to me. It’s a great club at every level, and that’s what I feel every time we step onto the pitch,” he added.
Uncertain future amid transfer interest
With Diaz valued highly by Real Madrid and his attachment to the club evident, Liverpool may face an uphill battle to secure his signature.
However, should Salah depart, the Premier League side could intensify their pursuit, testing Madrid’s resolve with a concrete offer.
As the summer transfer window approaches, Diaz’s situation will be one to watch, with his performances and Madrid’s long-term plans likely to shape any potential move to Anfield.
