Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo are reportedly playing for their futures at Liverpool in the second half of the season. According to sources, one or both of the attacking duo could be sold if Liverpool brings in significant additions to the front line during the summer transfer window.

Liverpool’s management is said to be disappointed with the performances of Diaz and Gakpo this season, and their long-term positions at the club are not guaranteed. The club is actively exploring the market for top-class forward additions in anticipation of the potential departure of star player Mohamed Salah in the summer.

Liverpool’s interest in recruiting top-class forwards has led to speculation about the futures of Diaz and Gakpo. Despite the surprise element for some observers, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has a history of ruthlessly moving on big names who are not delivering.

Cody Gakpo joined Liverpool in January 2023 from PSV Eindhoven for a fee of up to £44.3 million. While he has shown glimpses of promise, he has struggled to become a regular goal scorer, with only three goals in the Premier League this season.

Luis Diaz, signed from Porto two years ago for £37.5 million, has also underwhelmed in front of goal, scoring 16 goals in 71 appearances. Despite a recent return to form, Liverpool’s management may assess both players based on their performances in the remainder of the season.

As Liverpool considers potential replacements for Salah, such as Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, the futures of Diaz and Gakpo hang in the balance. The club sits at the top of the Premier League table, and the performances of both players in the coming months could play a crucial role in determining their futures at Anfield.
