Florian Wirtz deal forces €80m forward to Saudi Arabia

Diaz tipped for Liverpool exit Although Wirtz is an attacking midfielder by trade, the player tends to drift left. That will lessen the need for an out-and-out wide man like Diaz. Combine the Wirtz deal with the arrival of Milos Kerkez - an attack-minded left-back - and you can see how Diaz might be squeezed out of Arne Slot's first-team plans. Advertisement And there's also Diaz's contract to consider. The Colombia international is out of contract in 2027, currently earning a reported £55k per week. Following his excellent campaign, Diaz might feel like he's entitled to a bumper pay rise. So far however, sporting director Richard Hughes has refused to sanction it. With Diaz's terms ticking down, it means Liverpool might well be tempted to cash in if a decent offer arrives. It's clear that Barcelona won't come up with the requisite amount - said to be €80m - which leaves Saudi Arabian sides in the equation. © IMAGO Liverpool back away from Diaz talks Al-Nassr are reportedly keen on Diaz and it's likely that the player ends up in the Saudi Pro League as soon as this summer. That's according to a new report from TBR Football - which suggests Liverpool have WALKED AWAY from Diaz's contract talks. Advertisement 'Liverpool have backed away from contract talks with Diaz,' the report reads. 'The Colombian will move to Saudi Arabia.' Of the left-wing position: "Wirtz will end up playing there," the report reads. They've got Gakpo as well." Trent Alexander-Arnold and Caoimhin Kelleher have already departed while Jarell Quansah is soon expected to go.

Fed's Daly Says Employment, Inflation Risks Roughly in Balance

(Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said she sees the central bank's monetary policy stance as 'in a good place' currently, with risks to its US employment and price stability mandates as roughly equal.

Last week, the Fed held interest rates steady at 4.25%–4.5% and signaled uncertainty remains elevated about the effects of President Trump's tariffs on the economy. Officials see slower economic growth, higher inflation and rising unemployment, and hold divided views on the outlook for interest rates, according to their latest projections. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said Friday the central bank could begin cutting rates as soon as July. Daly, speaking Friday, said she sees a move as more likely in the fall. In her speech Sunday on central bank communications, the San Francisco Fed chief didn't comment on the outlook for the economy or policy. She said public guidance on interest rates sometimes 'comes with a price.' Officials should give 'guidance about what we know, humility about what we don't, and a commitment to respond to the world we get, even if it is different from the one we expect,' Daly said.
