Liverpool forward Diogo Jota could be sold in the upcoming transfer window. The Portuguese striker has often struggled with injury problems, which means he hasn’t secured a regular starting spot for the Reds.
According to Football Insider, Jota is not part of Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s long-term plans. The club are ready to consider transfer offers for the player next summer.
Interest has been shown by representatives from the Saudi Pro League and Arsenal.
In the current campaign, Diogo Jota has scored eight goals and provided three assists in 24 matches. The 28-year-old’s market value on Transfermarkt is estimated at €50 million.

Arsenal and Liverpool hope to convince Isak to transfer – reports
In the current season, Swedish forward Alexander Isak of Newcastle has been in superb form – so it’s only natural that talks about his potential summer move have resumed, especially if the Magpies fail to qualify for the Champions League next season.
According to CaughtOffside, London’s Arsenal are set to make an official offer for the Swedish attacker soon, determined not to fall behind clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool. Additionally, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are also showing interest in Alex.
Price is, of course, a major factor – Newcastle previously valued Isak at around €150 million, but if the Magpies don’t secure Champions League qualification by the end of the season, there could be a chance to purchase him for roughly €110 million plus bonuses.
Such a price would likely pose a significant hurdle for Barcelona and complicate matters for Arsenal. In Liverpool’s case, the odds might be better – especially with the expected transfer of Nunez – though PSG’s option shouldn’t be underestimated either.
