Even rejecting Barcelona and Bayern! Why doesn t Liverpool sell Dias or renew his contract?

Liverpool transfer updates and analysis today.

1. Official announcement: Kunsa officially transfers to Leverkusen

Kunsa not only became the most expensive signing in Leverkusen's history, but also wore the No. 4 jersey that symbolizes the main central defender. Interestingly, the last central defender who transferred from Liverpool to Leverkusen was also wearing a No. 4 jersey.

[Editor's Note] On the one hand, I am happy that Kunsa can open a new chapter, but on the other hand, I am also a little sad, especially when I saw his sincere departure comments on social media:

"From the moment I stepped into the Liverpool youth training gate when I was 5 years old, I have always dreamed of wearing a Liverpool jersey at Anfield one day. 17 years have passed, and now I can say that I have realized this dream. Liverpool will always have a special position in my heart. This is not only a club, but also a big family! Although I want to say goodbye now, I will always pay attention to Liverpool, one day, and the Reds for life!"

It is sad that Kunsa will play side by side with former Manchester United coach Ten Hach in the new season at Leverkusen, which is unimaginable a few months ago. When Tenghach welcomed Kunsa to join, he also said something that made some Leverkusen fans unhappy. He said to Kunsa: Congratulations on winning the (European Youth Championship) championship and defeating the Germans (winning the German team in the finals)! It was a bit embarrassed to be a newcomer Kunsa.

2. Liverpool's official announcement of several personnel changes in coaching staff

1. Former Dutch national team captain Van Bronkhorst replaced Heatinga and served as Slott's assistant coach. He played for Feyenoord, Glasgow Rangers, Arsenal and Barcelona as a player, and retired in 2010.

[Editor's Note] Van Bronkhorst ranks No. 3 in Liverpool coaching staff, No. 1 is Slott, and No. 2 is "Chief Assistant" Helshof.

2. Goalkeeper coach Tafarre left the team.

The 59-year-old Brazilian legendary goalkeeper and World Cup champion Tafarell joined Klopp's coaching staff in 2021 under the recommendation of Allison. Tafarrell said when he left: "I am very grateful and proud of my time working with Liverpool Club. I send my sincere thanks to every staff member, all players, and of course the amazing fans. These years will always be in my heart."

3, Fabian Otte, the head of first-team goalkeeper coach, left the team, and Xavi Valero returned to Liverpool and took over his position.

Ott came to Liverpool last summer, and Barello worked at Liverpool during his time in Benitez and has been at West Ham for the past seven years.

[Editor's Note] Liverpool's goalkeeper position has changed a lot this summer from player to coach. The 6 people in the photo below are now only one Alison is still in Liverpool in the new season, and the other five people have left in various ways. (Tafarell left the team, Jaros left the team on loan, Kellech left the team on loan, Otto left the team on loan, and Xavi Davis left the team on loan.)

3, Liverpool refused Bayern's bid for Dias

After Barcelona, ​​Bayern became the second team to ask Liverpool for Dias this summer, but was immediately told to "not sell". Liverpool's attitude is the same as before, what is the attitude? "Neither ready to sell or renew the contract."

Dias is currently 28 years old and has 2 years left in the contract. Dias himself, in an interview with the national team last month, responded openly about his future at Liverpool. His meaning was: We are indeed in contact with other teams, which is normal, and Liverpool has always been very nice to me, so if they give me a new contract, I am willing to renew the contract; if I don’t renew the contract with me, I can leave after completing the two-year contract.

[Editor's note] Dias' current valuation on the "German Transfer Market" website is 70 million euros. Liverpool's psychological price is definitely more than this, but the teams that are capable of giving Liverpool a heart-warming transfer fee may only be Saudi tycoons.

and Liverpool believes that even if Dias sells it, it will be difficult to buy a new player in the market who is similar to Dias's ability and can play both the left winger and the center.

But considering that Dias is 28 years old, Liverpool is not planning to renew contracts, because it will increase wage costs, so Liverpool's current choice is: when Dias is still golden in the next two years, let him continue to shine for the team. Two years later, Dias is also 30 years old, so let him leave for free. The club believes that this is not a loss. And players can accept such results, so why not?

Unless a team offers a price that Liverpool is difficult to refuse, I estimate that this price will be at least 80 million pounds.

In addition, we had previously shared the Liverpool salary structure in the push. At that time, we specifically told everyone that Dias' weekly salary is not only 55,000 pounds that the rumored online is only 55,000 pounds, but it should actually be around 120,000 pounds. Yesterday, Liverpool Echo emphasized this point again and said that Dias's weekly salary is about £140,000.
