Chelsea star Klopp looking for Luis Diaz replacement

One of the most talked about names in recent weeks has been Luis Diaz. The Colombian, who until a few days ago was ready to return to the field, however, in the blink of an eye his situation changed drastically, he had a relapse in his injury, was operated on again and will now be out for at least three months. It's a sensitive loss for Liverpool and for manager Jürgen Klopp, who described the situation as a "slap in the face".

"It is clearly a big disappointment for all of us, also for him. He felt something but we wanted to be very cautious (...) Then the news came and it was a real slap in the face," said the German coach at a recent press conference. Now the Colombian player will have to start the recovery process all over again with the aim of being fully recovered for the last part of the season. The winger will miss the first leg against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League, but is expected to be ready for the return leg in mid-March.

This situation put Liverpool in a complicated situation as the loss of Diaz is added to other important ones such as Diogo Jota. The English team is contemplating options to cope with this situation and according to the English press, one of the options that appear to be on the way is to try to make a signing, which was frustrated a few years ago, but now could have a huge impact on the squad.

It is Christian Pulisic, currently playing for Chelsea. According to the Liverpool Echo, the injury to Luis Diaz and the good performance of the player with his national team at the Qatar 2022 World Cup would have made the Reds try again to make a turn in the winter transfer market and seek to close his signing. It is also reported that other teams such as Newcastle United and Arsenal are also interested.

Klopp is looking for Pulisic

Pulisic's situation at Chelsea is very complex, he has not secured his place in the team, he has rarely been a starter and everything seems to indicate that he could leave the team in the next transfer window. In addition, the English media reports that "his chances of starting will only diminish as the likes of RB Leipzig's Christopher Nkunku and AC Milan's Rafael Leao are under consideration".
