€78m deal is Liverpool's DREAM come true
Liverpool are set to strike a €78m deal. It's a dream come true and exactly what the Reds needed.
Liverpool have found a few deals this summer that are still incredible to think about. Florian Wirtz's record-breaking arrival remains the peak, of course.
Wirtz cost Liverpool more than any other player in their history, arriving for around £100m guaranteed. That could well rise to a British transfer record if add-ons are met.
The Jeremie Frimpong deal feels like a steal, too. He's joined for under £30m and fixes a few problems in the squad.
One of those problems was created by Trent Alexander-Arnold leaving for Real Madrid. Still, Liverpool turned that into a remarkable deal - £10m for a player who wouldn't actually play for the club again.
Jarell Quansah joined Bayer Leverkusen for a sizeable fee in another brilliant deal. Liverpool retain a buyback clause for the defender so if he does reach his remarkable potential, the Reds can buy him back.
Everything has been going Liverpool's way this summer, then. And now another deal can be added to that list.

Liverpool to strike Luis Diaz deal
Fabrizio Romano is one of many saying that a deal between Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz is now close. He says this one's at the final stages, with only details being sorted.
Now, Romano claims the fee here is around €75m. Sky Sports suggest it's slightly higher at around €78m.
And this is a fantastic deal for Liverpool. It's a large fee - one of the largest received for a Red - and it's for someone approaching 29 with two years remaining on his contract.
Diaz wasn't going to sign a new deal, either, after negotiations broke down. His asking price would have plummeted in a year as a result of that - Liverpool needed to get this one done now.
It didn't look like they could, either. Both Bayern and Barcelona saw offers rejected for being far below the asking price and it didn't seem like Liverpool would actually get the amount they wanted.
This money allows for Diaz's replacement to arrive relatively stress-free, though. There's talk of that being Rodrygo, if Real Madrid decide to sell the Brazilian.

Or perhaps it's simply money that goes towards Alexander Isak, the ultimate target this summer. No matter what Liverpool choose to do with it, this was the dream scenario in terms of a sale.
Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
