Liverpool remain determined in their pursuit of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
The England international has been linked to a move to Anfield throughout the summer, and the Reds are not backing down in their interest in the former Everton player.
Gordon was reportedly on the market when Newcastle faced Profit and Sustainability concerns, with the club offering him to Liverpool.
However, after selling Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, Newcastle resolved their financial issues and decided to retain Gordon.
Despite this, Liverpool is still keen on signing him. According to Football Insider, they are prepared to sell Luis Diaz for £50 million to make room for Gordon.
The Colombian international has drawn interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but those clubs have since shifted their focus to other targets.
While Liverpool is actively pursuing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, the report also highlights Arne Slot’s desire to sign a left-sided attacker, with Gordon fitting the profile of the player they are seeking.
Liverpool remains “active” in their interest in Gordon and is expected to make a move for him this summer.
With just three weeks left before the transfer window closes, the Merseyside club cannot afford to waste time and needs to act quickly if they want to secure a deal for Gordon.
Liverpool has yet to make a new signing
As noted in the report, Liverpool is the only team in Europe’s top five leagues that has not signed a player this summer.
The club is working behind the scenes to secure their transfer targets, especially as their Premier League rivals continue to strengthen their squads.
While Diaz has been a successful signing for Liverpool, they are seeking a younger alternative, and they have identified Gordon as the player to replace him.
