Liverpool has identified a replacement for Luis Diaz following unsuccessful contract negotiations.

After failing to reach an agreement in contract talks, Liverpool has pinpointed a successor for Luis Diaz.

Liverpool heads to Everton to face Eddie  unpredictable Debby in a match that holds more significance than just league points.

This encounter presents Liverpool with another chance to extend their lead at the top of the table, depending on other results, while Everton aims to regain the form.

However, the spotlight is primarily on one player: Anthony Gordon.

This focus is warranted, as Newcastle’s left-winger hails from Liverpool and began his career in the club’s academy.

Liverpool had also pursued Gordon during the summer, with negotiations underway before ultimately falling through.

With Newcastle’s coaching staff believing Gordon could be pivotal in his matchup against Trent Alexander-Arnold, all attention will be on their performance tonight.

Most importantly, a report from the Daily Mail indicates that Liverpool remains interested in acquiring Gordon.

What would Anthony Gordon’s potential move to Liverpool signify?

The report mentions that Liverpool was not prepared to meet Newcastle’s minimum asking price of £80 million or include Jarell Quansah in the deal during the summer, which contributed to the negotiations breaking down.

Given the established rapport between Gordon and Alexander-Arnold—who reportedly sang ‘he’s coming home’ when Gordon revealed he was in talks with Liverpool during the Euros in Germany—tonight’s match takes on an intriguing aspect.

This situation is also crucial for Liverpool, as Luis Diaz typically occupies the left-wing position in Arne Slot’s lineup, although he played as a central attacker against Manchester City on Sunday, with Cody Gakpo on the left, yielding positive results.

Amid speculation regarding Diaz’s discontent with the new contract proposed by the club, there is a genuine possibility that further reinforcement may be required in that position as the next season approaches.

Liverpool’s squad remains in a state of flux this season. Key players such as Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Alexander-Arnold have yet to confirm their commitments to the club beyond this season, while rumors surrounding a potential acquisition of Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush could alter Liverpool’s attacking dynamics.

Consequently, tonight’s match may serve as an informal trial for Gordon in the eyes of Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
