According to an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Luis Diaz is not in talks with any prospective suitors regarding a move away from Liverpool next year. The Colombian international is happy at the Merseyside club and shares a healthy working relationship with Arne Slot amid his links with many high-profile clubs.
Luis Diaz and his Liverpool journey so far
Luis Diaz has established himself as one of the most mercurial attackers in the Premier League since joining Liverpool from FC Porto in a deal worth €45 million in January 2022. While the South American attacker has blown hot and cold in the last three years, he has been a game-changer for the Merseyside outfit.
The 27-year-old was hot off the blocks this season, but his performance levels dropped after a superb start to the 2024/25 campaign. However, Diaz has a solid tally of 11 goals and three assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Diaz’s exploits for Liverpool in the last three years have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the Colombian international with Barcelona, while other European bigwigs are also keen on securing his services.
What next?
Barcelona’s interest in Luis Diaz has emerged in the wake of widespread speculation surrounding the long-term future of Ferran Torres. With the Spanish international a candidate to leave Barcelona to help the Blaugrana balance the books, the Liverpool attacker is a viable target. However, recent reports have claimed that Diaz will likely sign a new contract with the Reds.
The latest update has revealed that the Colombian international is happy at the Merseyside club amid his links with European bigwigs. In addition, the mercurial Liverpool forward is not in talks with any prospective suitor and shares a healthy working relationship with Arne Slot.
With recent reports suggesting the 27-year-old winger wants to sign a new contract with Liverpool, he will unlikely depart from Anfield anytime soon. So, Barcelona and other prospective suitors must set their sights elsewhere to reinforce their offensive departments.
