Liverpool Ready To Sell Their Forward For Bayern Munich Winger: Does The Decision Make Sense? | OneFootball

Liverpool are one of the strongest sides in the world who always like to fight for all times. They are the favourites to win the Premier League season but have been knocked out of the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. They also suffered a defeat against Newcastle United in the final of the EFL Cup.

Hence, Arne Slot wants to make some desired changes in the squad in the summer transfer window and cover all bases. They want to get the right profile of players who will help the team compete for all titles next season. For that to happen, the Merseyside club will also need to sell their players to raise money.

Liverpool ready to sell Luis Diaz to sign Leroy Sane

Earlier, Fabrizio Romano had said that Liverpool might be willing to offload their forward Luis Diaz in the transfer window. Now, Colombian media outlet Antena 2 (via Mundo Deportivo) has revealed that Slot has made up his mind that Liverpool can go on to sell Diaz in the summer and buy Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane as a replacement for the player.

Bayern Munich’s German speedster is a winger who electrifies the pitch. His sensational pace leaves defenders trailing, while his smooth dribbling weaves through tight spaces with ease. Sane’s versatility is a plus point as he cuts inside to unleash venomous shots with either foot or hugging the touchline to deliver whipped crosses. His vision picks out killer passes, sparking attacks with flair. At 29, the German’s explosiveness is matched by a matured game sense; timing runs to perfection. Whether scoring screamers or creating chaos, Sane’s unpredictability and technical brilliance make him a constant threat for any club.

He has scored 7 goals in 22 matches so far in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season and has a G/A of 11 this season. Luis Diaz has scored 9 goals in 28 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. He has a G/A of 13 this season.

Does the decision make sense?

Liverpool fans might be hurt hearing that Arne Slot is okay selling Luis Díaz in summer 2025, with his contract still running to 2027, to bring in Leroy Sane. Sane’s pace and flair could replace Díaz’s magic, and with Barcelona lurking, cashing in might make sense. But it feels wrong—Diaz’s heart and hustle are Anfield’s pulse. Sane is a gamble; he’s faded at Bayern lately. Keeping the Colombian gem, who’s proven at Anfield, beats swapping for a maybe. Slot’s call seems hasty.
