Sportbible writes that Liverpool manager Arne Slot “becomes ruthless after the Carabao Cup final” (which they lost to Newcastle).
While Newcastle brought home to St James’ Park their first trophy in 70 years, there will clearly be changes at Anfield despite the fact that the Premier League is all but in the box. The Liverpool manager is reportedly prepared to let two of his star players leave this summer due to their disappointing performance in the Carabao Cup final.
Several players produced weak performances during the match, leading to significant frustration from both fans online and present at Wembley. And now Slot has apparently had enough with two of his players as he has reportedly given the green light to sell them in what will be a massive summer at Anfield.
Although there are several areas that Liverpool will likely need to strengthen in when the transfer window reopens in June.
Although sporting director Richard Hughes could convince star player Mohamed Salah to strike a new deal before his current contract expires in the summer, a new report has claimed that it looks increasingly likely that both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez are out.
According to the Daily Mail, the Saudi Pro League interest in Nunez is still strong after their reported failed attempt to sign the Uruguayan for around £62.4 million in January.
Saudi clubs are said not to have been intimidated by Liverpool’s previous reluctance to sell Nunez and see him as part of the plan as the entire league plans major investments in 2025.
Should Liverpool or Nunez decide on a move to Saudi Arabia, La Liga club Atletico Madrid are also said to be considering a move to the striker in the summer.
As for Diaz, Barcelona are reportedly the front runners to make a move in the summer, as they have been keeping an eye on the winger for a while.
The report claims that the Spanish giants will definitely strengthen their already impressive front three this summer, and sees Diaz as the perfect option should he be available.
However, before making a move for the Colombian, it is believed that Barcelona will once again make an attempt to sign long-term target Nico Williams, who is reportedly keen to make the move if Barca trigger his £48.7m release clause
