Liverpool’s summer business could take a dramatic turn depending on the future of Luis Díaz, whose potential move away from Anfield might directly impact Arsenal’s own transfer ambitions—especially regarding Real Madrid star Rodrygo.

Díaz played a pivotal role in helping Liverpool secure the Premier League crown last season, and the Merseyside club remains eager to keep him. However, strong interest from the Saudi Pro League—backed by hefty financial packages—is forcing Liverpool to keep their options open, particularly if a major offer arrives.

Elite European sides like Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also tracking the winger’s situation closely. While Liverpool are not actively trying to sell, they’re preparing contingency plans in case a departure becomes inevitable.

Should Díaz leave, Liverpool are expected to move quickly for a top-tier replacement. One name that’s gaining serious traction is Real Madrid’s Rodrygo—who happens to be a key target for Arsenal as well. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Brazilian is viewed as a leading option should Liverpool be forced into the market.
