Liverpool have intensified their pursuit of Moroccan winger Brahim Diaz as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Reds are reported to have ramped up negotiations with Real Madrid for the 24-year-old, who has emerged as a prime candidate to replace Mohamed Salah, should the Egyptian forward depart at the end of the season.
The interest follows months of speculation linking Diaz to Anfield, with Liverpool now preparing a significant bid to persuade the Spanish giants to part ways with the player.
Diaz, who holds both Moroccan and Spanish nationalities, has not been a consistent starter under Carlo Ancelotti but has made the most of his appearances, showcasing his technical ability and attacking flair.
His versatility across the front line is seen as a valuable asset by Liverpool’s management, aligning with the club’s long-term strategic vision.
Despite his limited game time, Diaz has made a notable impact for Real Madrid this season, impressing with his creativity and work rate.
Liverpool view the former AC Milan loanee as a player capable of fitting seamlessly into their attacking system.
The Premier League side are bracing for the potential departure of Salah, whose future remains uncertain.
Liverpool believe Diaz’s skillset and potential could help maintain the team’s competitive edge as they continue their pursuit of domestic and European success.
Negotiations between Liverpool and Real Madrid are expected to progress in the coming weeks as the transfer window approaches.
