Liverpool have added Real Madrid forward Brahim Diaz to their list of transfer targets. He could potentially replace Mohamed Salah in the future.
Liverpool are a club who should always be on the radar of Real Madrid. This is because the two will continue to compete to be the most dominant club in Europe.
Real Madrid holds that title loud and proud. However, if anyone is to challenge Los Blancos for the title of Europe's most prestige, it could be Liverpool. Therefore, Madrid must prevent this from happening.
At the moment, Liverpool are having an incredible season. They remain in all four of their main competitions, at the top of the Champions League and Premier League tables and in the semifinal of the EFL Cup.
However, there is still a certain anxiety around Liverpool. Their best player Mohamed Salah is out of contract at the end of the season and if his comments are anything to go by, then he does not anticipate a contract renewal at this stage.
At face value, it might appear that Liverpool losing Mohamed Salah is good news for Real Madrid. However, that might not be as true as it seems.
Liverpool eye highly-rated Real Madrid star to replace Mohamed Salah
According to a report from Fichajes, Liverpool have located Brahim Diaz as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah. That said, they would face competition from Bundesliga duo Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.
Brahim Diaz is one of those players who should be getting more game-time. At a different club, he would certainly be one of the standout players. One of the nice problems which Real Madrid has though is that they have a squad full of promising players who all need game-time.
In the right-wing position, Brahim Diaz has competed for a place alongside Rodrygo and Arda Guler - A seemingly impossible task. While he is versatile enough to play in other positions, it is an impossible mountain to climb.
Last week, it was revealed that Man City star Savinho had become of interest to Real Madrid. If this is the case and Real Madrid do pursue Savinho, this won't be good news for Brahim Diaz.
Regardless, a lot can happen between now and the end of the season.
