Liverpool have spent €307 million on player purchases this summer. Or rather, so far this summer. Strongly linked to the record signing of Alexander Isak and a Liverpool boss who reports they have full control of the spending level in the “positive circle”, it is clear that Liverpool must also sell in order to buy. On Saturday, the squad was in Hong Kong far out for the preseason match against AC Milan. Here came “confirmation” that two players are on their way to transfer.
As rumours of selling Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have increased, Liverpool have deliberately posted pictures on Instagram of the two players smiling on the training ground with the rest of the Liverpool squad. So no signs that there will be a transition between the two.

Liverpool have neither Luis Diaz nor Darwin Nunez in Saturday’s friendly against AC Milan.
There have been rumours that the duo will leave Liverpool recently, and Diaz has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich. Negotiations are supposedly underway, while Nunez has interest from the “Ronaldo league”.
Saturday’s omission of the two from the matchday squad without explanation from Liverpool probably says it all. This is happening. No reason why Arne Slot spends time on players who do not show up for the start of the season in mid-August.
