Liverpool eye up former Lazio star as Coutinho replacement
- Jordan Russell (@JordRuss96)
One of these is former Lazio forward Keita Baldé Diao, who is now plying his trade at reigning Ligue 1 champions Monaco. While the Senegalese has struggled to replicate his best form at times under the tutelage of Leonardo Jardim, he remains a player who is admired my several of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The 22-year-old, who was once on the books of the Blaugrana during his youth career, has also been approached by Serie A side Napoli, who would like to bring him back to Serie A.
While he is unlikely to leave the principality club this month, there is a chance the Reds could pursue a deal in the summer as they look to strengthen their attacking ranks. There is no doubt that he would be an exciting addition to a team already boasting the likes of Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.
