JAMIE CARRAGHER'S CLAIM: LUIS DIAZ ONLY GREAT DUE TO "EASIER" BUNDESLIGA
Jamie Carragher defended Liverpool's decision to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for £65.5m, arguing it was "good business" for a player he rated as "good, not great."
Jamie Carragher thinks Liverpool might miss Luis Diaz this season since they don't have anyone who plays quite like him. Still, he believes the £65.5 million Bayern Munich paid for Diaz was a good deal for Liverpool.
Diaz played 148 games for Liverpool, scoring 41 goals. He helped them win five trophies in his three and a half years there, including last season's Premier League title.
But soon after celebrating the trophy, Diaz moved to Bayern for £65.5 million.
Liverpool brought in Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike to boost their attack in a busy transfer period. Yet, some people wondered why they were okay with letting Diaz go.
These questions have grown louder because Liverpool hasn't played well since the season started. Slot's new signings haven't lived up to the hype.
On the other hand, Diaz has been great in German football. He has seven goals and five assists in his first 12 Bundesliga games. He also has three Champions League goals.
Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, talked about Diaz's departure on The Overlap. He said the club's leaders might have thought differently than Arne Slot, who might have wanted to keep Diaz.
But they considered he’s 28, and giving him a new contract means paying him a lot, Carragher said.
It was a good deal for Liverpool, and I'll argue with anyone about that. He'll look amazing in the Bundesliga because it's not as tough as the Premier League.
Carragher added, “Diaz was a good player for Liverpool, but not great. He wasn't like Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, or Mohamed Salah. He was just good.
Although Wirtz isn't the same type of player as Diaz, Carragher hopes he can fill the gap, especially after his good game against West Ham.
Carragher said Liverpool got some good years out of him and got a good price, so it was a good deal for Liverpool.
What they haven't done, Carragher stated, is replace him.
But if Wirtz becomes as good as we hope, maybe he's a different type of player, but can fill that role between the lines on the left.
Carragher thinks Wirtz's performance against West Ham should be what everyone expects, considering his high transfer fee of £116 million.
Carragher said that he watched Wirtz play well against Real Madrid, but the West Ham game was the first time that Wirtz seemed a cut above everyone else. That's how it should be when you pay that kind of money.
I'm not trying to put more pressure on him, but that was the first time I'd seen him and thought, "He looks a level above everyone else." That shouldn't be a one-off.
“While he didn’t set up a goal or score, so we still need to see that, I want to see that level of play most weeks because he’s a superstar, the best player in Germany, and broke the British transfer record before Alexander Isak. I need to see that.”
Carragher wants Liverpool to dominate teams like Sunderland and Leeds, even if they don't always win. He hopes Wirtz is getting started now.
Carragher has always opposed Liverpool changing managers during the season. He hopes the club can build on their 2-0 win against West Ham.
It felt like a big week, and I felt West Ham away was the toughest of those games, he explained.
It wasn't just that he had three games to save his job, but also the nature of the opposition. These included a team that has been in the bottom three all season, West Ham; a promoted team in Sunderland; and another promoted team, Leeds, also in the bottom three.
“It felt like if you don’t get results there, it does feel a little bit like… where do you go?
“Liverpool has never changed a manager who has won the league. And then, who do you get? The idea of putting an interim manager in just feels impossible.”
There have been rumours about Steven Gerrard possibly taking over from Slot as interim manager.
Carragher doubts these rumours and believes fans are mainly hoping Slot can turn things around.
When asked if the Gerrard links could be real, Carragher said, No, I wouldn't think so.
It's because he's been a manager and had success at Rangers. He is a well-known figure back in Liverpool and around town.
“But I don’t think most Liverpool fans are hoping for Steven Gerrard. I think everyone is desperate for it to work for Slot.
Still, the problem with being on such a bad run is how long does it continue? So, I do feel like it was a big week.
WHY DID JEREMY JACQUET SNUB CHELSEA FOR LIVERPOOL? THE SECRET VIRGIL CONNECTION
Liverpool secure Jeremy Jacquet in a £60m Deadline Day coup. The 20-year-old chose Anfield over Chelsea for a summer move.
Liverpool turned heads on Transfer Deadline Day when Arne Slot jumped into the mix and snapped up one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
The Reds dropped £55 million up front—plus another potential £5 million in add-ons—to bring in Jeremy Jacquet. He’ll link up with his new teammates this summer. Chelsea hovered around the deal too, but Jacquet chose Liverpool over the Blues.
French football pundit Julian Laurens isn’t shy about his excitement. He told Sky Sports, “He’s the real deal. Sure, he’s only 20. He hasn’t played for France yet, and you won’t find him in the Champions League or Europa League. But he’s already shown so much. Last season, Rennes brought him back from a second division loan, and this year, playing under Habib Beye, he’s just kept improving. You can’t miss with this kid. He’s going to be special.
“He reminds me of when William Saliba broke through at Saint-Etienne, or even Wesley Fofana. The point is, if you really value untapped talent, you’re willing to pay big. And Liverpool just did—because Jacquet’s that promising.”
Jacquet grew up in Bondy, the same Paris suburb that produced Kylian Mbappe, William Saliba, and Randal Kolo Muani. It’s up in Seine-Saint-Denis, northeast of central Paris.
His football education, though, happened at Rennes out in Brittany. He came up through their academy, playing alongside guys like Desire Doue—who won the Champions League with PSG—and Tottenham’s Mathys Tel.
Back then, Jacquet idolised Paul Pogba, but once they moved him to centre-back, he started looking up to Virgil van Dijk.
He made his first-team debut for Rennes in January 2024, then went on loan to Clermont Foot 63, who were fighting relegation in Ligue 1. Even after they went down, Rennes kept him out on loan because he did so well with the French U19 squad.
But in February 2025, Rennes called him back, and he’s been a regular for Habib Beye ever since.
Asked about his playing style, Jacquet said, “I’m calm on the ball—maybe I look a little nonchalant, but I’m always focused. What makes me stand out is playing out from the back and breaking lines with the right pass.”
JEREMY JACQUET UPDATE: FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS LIVERPOOL INTEREST BUT RENNES DEMAND CLUB-RECORD FEE
Liverpool is battling Chelsea and Bayern Munich for Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet as Arne Slot faces a mounting injury crisis.
Liverpool really wants to sign Jeremy Jacquet this month, but with Chelsea, Man United, and Arsenal also circling, it looks like they’ll have to wait until summer.
They just locked in a spot in the Champions League last 16 after cruising past Qarabag FK, so things are looking good on that front. This season, they’ve already faced a couple of those big clubs—snatching a last-gasp win over Atletico thanks to Van Dijk’s 92nd-minute header, but coming up short with a 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in Turkey.
On Wednesday, Ryan Gravenberch ended up playing centre-back because Joe Gomez is out injured, and Ibrahima Konate is still away after his father passed away. They're really stretched at the back, especially with Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni both dealing with long-term injuries. The club decided not to go after Marc Guehi this month, which let Manchester City snap him up for under £30 million.
Now, Liverpool is eyeing Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. L’Equipe reported in January that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Man United, Arsenal, and Liverpool all want him. Fabrizio Romano gave an update, saying Liverpool would love to get the deal done now, but Rennes just don’t want to sell until summer. So, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern are all talking to Rennes and Jacquet’s people, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
With all these injuries piling up, people are wondering if Liverpool might try to bring in someone before the window closes. Arne Slot responded, saying the club always tries to make smart decisions, thinking about both the short and long term. That’s why they focus on signing young talent who can still develop—sometimes you just have to be patient and trust the process.
He pointed out that Liverpool doesn’t have a massive squad packed with four right-backs, a dozen midfielders, or a handful of strikers. They need to be clever about their moves, balancing immediate needs with future plans.
As for the latest on injuries, Slot said they’ll see how Jeremie Frimpong is doing—maybe he won’t be fit for Saturday, but he could be ready soon after. With just one game a week coming up, injuries should ease up a bit, but you never know with football.
