Steven Gerrard admits he would welcome Luis Diaz back at Liverpool and believes the club haven’t any probability of signing Michael Olise from Bayern Munich this summer.<\/p>\n

Diaz played a key role in Liverpool\u2019s Premier League title success last season before the club allowed him to maneuver to Bayern in a \u00a365.5 million deal last summer.<\/p>\n

Liverpool at the moment are available in the market to interchange Mohamed Salah, who’s leaving Anfield at the top of the season, and Olise has been linked with a return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Gerrard feels Olise has no reason to go away Bayern and backs the 24-year-old to impress for France on the World Cup this summer.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you end up a full-back playing up against a winger, they normally have a weak side and also you show them a technique or one other, depending what foot they’re,\u2019 Gerrard told TNT Sports.<\/p>\n

\u2018The issue with him is he can go each ways, his right foot is just as strong as his left. You actually need to indicate him on his right foot because that\u2019s probably his weaker side, but you see a few of the assists he\u2019s getting, a few of the finishes together with his right foot.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you happen to leave him in one-versus-one situations, you’re in major trouble.\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if he would take Olise at Liverpool, Gerrard replied: \u2018All day long.<\/p>\n

\u2018But the issue is, why would he leave Bayern? An enormous club, difficult for the massive honours, they usually are probably the strongest Bayern Munich team we’ve got seen for some time.<\/p>\n

\u2018He’s about to take the World Cup by storm come the summer. He looks like a extremely completely happy kid, settled, to me, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u2018But, yes, would I really like him at Liverpool. And you understand what, I wouldn\u2019t mind Diaz back as well. I\u2019m missing him, I\u2019m missing him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gerrard\u2019s former Liverpool teammate, Jamie Carragher, believes the club were right to money in on Diaz.<\/p>\n

Asked if Liverpool were improper to sell the Colombia international last 12 months, Carragher said on CBS Sports: \u2018No. They miss him as a player, 100 per cent, there\u2019s little question, and that was at all times going to be the case, he was a extremely good player for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u2018But sometimes you get presented deals as a club and on the time that was a very good deal for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u2018Liverpool I believe bought Luis Diaz for \u00a340 million, they’d him for 4 seasons perhaps, he was due for a brand new contract, he\u2019d been on the identical contract since he got here, so he wasn\u2019t on huge wages and the following one would have put him on a giant contract and Liverpool would have had him until his early 30s, which might be not what they wanted ideally.<\/p>\n

Were Liverpool right to sell Luis Diaz?<\/h3>\n
