Liverpool is planning a dramatic move for an attacker valued at €90 million.

Rafael Leao is the guy whom Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool are eyeing to add to their attacking options.

Some of the top teams in the world, including Liverpool, are vying for the AC Milan star.

Francois Plateau claims that the Merseyside club is interested in the Portuguese midfielder and that they may make an offer that includes Liverpool’s Luis Diaz as well as a player-plus-cash arrangement.

The writer disclosed that the heirs of Liverpool feel that the Serie A player is the ideal successor to their former hero, Sadio Mane.

Mane departed the team to play for Bayern Munich, one of the biggest teams in Germany, and then joined Al-Nassr, a Saudi Pro League team.

Leao, 24, is regarded as one of Europe’s most desirable residences at the moment. The left-handed attacker has made 182 appearances for AC Milan across all competitions, scoring 47 goals.

His most recent deal with Milan is valid until the summer of 2028. He joined the Italian powerhouses from the French club Lille.

Luiz Diaz was acquired by Liverpool from Porto, but due to injuries throughout his stay in England, he has not had a significant impact at the team.

Since joining Liverpool in January 2022, the Colombian international has made 69 appearances for the Premier League champions and scored 16 goals.

With five years left on Leao’s deal, Milan is in a great position, albeit it is unclear if the Italian team is interested in Diaz as a replacement.

Liverpool will be well-positioned to contend for both the Premier League and the Europa League in the second half of the season if they are able to sign Leao.

Klopp is anticipated to be busy during the January transfer window in order to deal with some of Liverpool’s problems.

When Liverpool will lose Wataru Endo and Mo Salah is confirmed by Jurgen Klopp.

When Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah will depart Liverpool to play in midseason international competitions, Jurgen Klopp has revealed.

Because of the diverse roster that Klopp assembled at Liverpool, it has frequently happened that important players miss games at the beginning of the year.

Salah, Sadio Mane, and Naby Keita have all missed seasons of the Africa Cup of Nations, which is primarily to blame for that.

However, the Asian Cup this year will add to that, as Japan’s captain is summer signing Endo.

The expectation was that Endo and Salah, who will also serve as Egypt’s captains during their AFCON trip to the Ivory Coast, would be fit for their FA Cup third-round match against Arsenal on January 7.

However, Klopp has stated that the two are anticipated to leave right after Newcastle’s Premier League visit on New Year’s Day.

In his lengthy pre-match press conference on Friday, the manager provided updates to reporters, including Andy Hunter of the Guardian.

Liverpool may be without Salah and Endo for a while as AFCON takes place from January 13 to February 11 and the Asian Cup from January 12 to February 10.

They will, at minimum, be unable to attend the following four games:

• Arsenal (A) – FA Cup third round – January 7
• Fulham (H) – Carabao Cup semi-final – January 10
• Bournemouth (A) – Premier League – January 21
• Fulham (A) – Carabao Cup semi-final – January 24

They would miss four further games, including maybe an FA Cup fourth-round tie, if they get all the way to their respective finals.

That would also mean they would not be able to play Burnley (H, Feb. 10), Chelsea (H, Jan. 31), Arsenal (A, Feb. 4), or Brentford (A, Feb. 17).

As things stand, Liverpool will miss at least four games without their leading scorer and a crucial midfield player.

It is not ideal given the state of injuries in Klopp’s team, with Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, Thiago, and Diogo Jota remaining sidelined, Andy Robertson not yet back in contact training, and all of them long-term absences.

The boss has already hinted at his strategy without Salah, so it will be hoped that Mac Allister and Jota return in time for the FA Cup match at Arsenal.

In the Carabao Cup quarterfinals, Harvey Elliott started on the right wing in the 5-1 victory over West Ham. Dominik Szoboszlai is an additional possibility
