Liverpool sold Luis Diaz in the summer with many fans thinking that they'd robbed Bayern Munich blind.
The Colombian was 28 years old when the Reds sold him to Bayern so the fact that they got over £60 million for him was impressive.
To replace the former Porto man, Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike were brought in with Florian Wirtz also expected to help out on occasion.
However, since none of them are natural left-wingers, the brunt of the action on the left has been placed upon the shoulders of Cody Gakpo.
And, while he may be an impressive player, every defender he comes up against knows that he's going to do anything in his power to get onto his right foot to have a shot on goal.
But, since it's so predictable, he's not been effective enough this term, especially with how solid most defensive lines are.
So, it's hardly surprising to see several left wingers now appearing on the Reds' radar with Arne Slot now finding the perfect player for Liverpool to sign this summer.
If Liverpool don't sign another left-wing this summer, some serious questions will need to be asked.
Rio Ngumoha has risen to the occasion more than once this term but, since he's only 17 years old he can't be expected to start each week.
So, this is where Rafael Leao comes in.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool are now interested in signing Rafael Leao.
"AC Milan star Rafael Leao is attracting interest from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid as they explore a potential summer move for the Portugal international," they wrote.
"Milan are understood to be open to offers for a number of their top players as they look to balance the books and work within financial guidelines. And Leao could depart for around £60million.
"That's viewed as excellent value by many elite clubs for a 26-year-old of Leao's calibre in the current market."
The Portugal international currently plays for AC Milan and is arguably one of their best players.
Leao has contributed to 13 goals across all competitions this season and, even though he's a left-winger by trade, Milan have often used him at their number nine this term.
He's a skilful player with a keen eye for goal and, even though he may be 26 years old, his experience of the Serie A and Ligue 1 would massively benefit him during his transition to life as a Premier League player.
The fact that he'd only cost the Reds £60 million feels too good to be true but, if a fee within that region could be agreed upon, it would easily be the bargain of the window.
Liverpool need to start rebuilding their attack now that several changes are on their way and, in reality, there isn't a better option than Leao at the moment.
