Liverpool eyes Rodrygo as Diaz replacement, Xhaka agrees Sunderland move

Liverpool are considering Real Madrid's Rodrygo as a potential replacement for Luis Diaz, should the Colombian winger leave Anfield this summer.

Idman.biz, citing BBC, reports that the 24-year-old Brazilian is reportedly on their shortlist, according to Florian Plettenberg.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is demanding a staggering £300,000 a week to sign a new contract. The Magpies have also had a £30m bid rejected by Brentford for DR Congo striker Yoane Wissa.

In a surprising move, Granit Xhaka has agreed personal terms with Sunderland. Talks are ongoing with Bayer Leverkusen, although manager Erik ten Hag insists the Swiss midfielder is "too important to let go."

Meanwhile, Wolves are closing in on Jhon Arias and Marc Pubill, while Manchester United are monitoring 19-year-old Dan Sinate. Everton, active in the market, are interested in Bayern's Adam Aznou and Atletico's Samuel Lino, as Leeds' Mateo Joseph pushes for an exit.
