Liverpool look set to shake up their forward options in the summer transfer window. Several stars have got big question marks against their names, with strikers Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota available for the right price.

Arne Slot hasn’t been won over by the pair, with Luis Diaz often the preferred option at No9. But Diaz himself is also in doubt. He is under contract until 2027 and if no resolution is reached over a new deal then he could be sold before his value drops.

Fellow winger Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, is attracting interest from Serie A sides as well as Tottenham. He could be on the move after just ONE season at Anfield.

Sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are doing their due diligence on plenty of forwards - both in the striker and wing positions.

Kingsley Coman wants Liverpool move

One name that’s been on the Liverpool radar is Kingsley Coman. The 28-year-old Bayern Munich winger looks set to depart the club this summer - with his representatives hopeful of scoring a Premier League move.

Coman, a serial title-winner with Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Bayern, is under contract at the Allianz Arena but has been squeezed out of the starting XI this season under Vincent Kompany.

The Bundesliga winners have only used Coman 13 times as a starter in the league this season - although he has still managed five goals and four assists in just 1220 minutes.

French international Coman has slipped down the pecking order with Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise preferred in the wide positions and he has often been restricted to substitute roles.

Capable of playing on the right wing as well as his preferred position on the left, Coman could provide a versatile option for Arne Slot when seeking to rotate the likes of Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Although his time at Bayern appears at an end, Christian Falk believes the player’s entourage still think he is capable of performing at the highest levels.

Coman's agent checking out Premier League interest

“I heard that Kingsley Coman’s agents are checking the markets. There’s still an opportunity to go to Saudi Arabia, he writes in his CF Bayern Insider column.

“But, of course, Kingsley would be open to still playing at an elite European level. There were rumours of interest from Newcastle and Tottenham; this range would be possible for a move. However, Coman’s entourage still wants to check if there is interest from big six clubs like Liverpool, who are searching for such positions.

“Perhaps also Manchester United, who previously held an interest in the player. At the moment, there’s nothing concrete. They’re just knocking on the doors of clubs and seeing if they need a player like him.”

One complicating factor for a club like Liverpool is Coman’s salary. He is reported by Spotrac to be on over €300,000 per week in Bavaria, a sum outmatched at Anfield only by Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

He would be a luxury signing for the Reds, who are unlikely to be able to offer Coman any more starting guarantees than he’s currently receiving under Kompany.
