Klopp humiliates Manchester United, removes reinforcements to replace Luis Diaz

Due to Luis Diaz's relapse, Liverpool have changed their plans and will look to the market for a new winger to take the Colombian's place. It was not in Liverpool's plans for Luis Fernando Diaz to be incapacitated for another three months of the season. He has already spent three months recovering and his relapse led to an imminent change of plans for Jürgen Klopp's coaching staff. The team is not going through its best moment in English football and the DT knows it.

He needs a revulsive to try to reverse the low competitive level shown by the club in 2022. According to the most positive estimates, Luis Fernando Diaz is expected to be able to return to normal training in the first weeks of March. By that time, the club will have already started the second round of matches in the Premier League calendar and, depending on results, would also be playing the decisive rounds of the Carabao Cup and the early stages of the FA Cup.

Not to mention the fact that Liverpool will also be playing in the last 16 of the Champions League at the same time. With all that in mind, Klopp cannot wait for Luis Diaz to return to his preferred formation. For that reason, the club is already considering several names to sign in the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to the European press, Liverpool have two players in the pipeline and one of them had an outstanding participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The first of them and the one that generates more noise is Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman, star of PSV, is of great interest to Liverpool, although his transfer price is quite high. The second, also from the Dutch national team, is Memphis Depay.

Without space at Barcelona, he is looking for an 'express' exit and the 'Reds' could take advantage of a bargain for this attacker. Besides those two, the other names being linked with the Liverpool market are Christian Pulisic (Chelsea), Moussa Diaby (Bayer Leverkusen), Marcus Thuram (B. Monchengladbach), Joao Felix (Atl. de Madrid) and Mohamed Kudus (Ajax).
