Liverpool have named their price for Luis Diaz amid interest from European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Arne Slot has added to his Premier League title-winning squad by recruiting Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez this summer.
Both Frimpong and Wirtz, who cost a club-record £116 million, joined from Bayer Leverkusen, while Kerez moved from Bournemouth in the region of £40 million.
A player who worked under Slot at Feyenoord is also on Liverpool's radar.

But Liverpool also plan to offload players, with Trent Alexander-Arnold signing for Real Madrid.
Harvey Eliott and Darwin Nunez have also been linked with a move away from Anfield.
Not to mention Diaz, who joined Liverpool from Porto for £37.5 million in January 2022.
Diaz has made 148 appearances across all competitions since signing for the club, scoring 41 goals.
He played 36 league games in his side's league-winning campaign.
Despite being a key member of Slot's squad, the club would be prepared to let him leave if they receive a good offer.
According to German outlet BILD, Liverpool would sanction Diaz's transfer if a deal worth €82 million (£71 million) is tabled.
However, Barca are reluctant to reach Liverpool's figure and will pursue a move for Marcus Rashford if they cannot strike a deal with the Premier League champions.
Manchester United's Rashford is also on Barca's radar as they seek to strengthen their forward line ahead of the new season.
Bayern, however, could stump up the cash as they look to replace Jamal Musiala following his horrific injury sustained in his side's Club World Cup defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
Musiala suffered a fractured fibula and will be out for at least four months.
His injury has accelerated the need for Bayern to bring in attacking reinforcements, with the Bundesliga champions making Diaz their top target after looking at Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and PSG's Bradley Barcola.
The Colombian is also attracting interest from Saudi Pro League outfit Al Nassr.
