Luis Diaz is set to hold showdown talks with Liverpool to determine his future at the club, as there’s an chance he could leave.
According to Football Insider, Luis Diaz’s future could be determined in the period ahead as the Colombian attacker is set for showdown talks with Liverpool. The 28-year-old will enter the final two years of his deal, with suggestions that the Merseysiders might cash in and use the funds to refresh their attacking setup.
Liverpool were consumed in their efforts to sort out the futures of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk before moving on to some other stars in their squad. The formidable duo have committed their futures to the club, signing two-year deals, which could now allow the Merseysiders to sort out the futures of other notable stars.
Widespread reports are stating Arne Slot wants to build his own attacking setup, which could see Liverpool sell Darwin Nunez to fund a new arrival or two. Similarly, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz’s futures are also in considerable doubt, with the latter attracting massive interest from Barcelona.
The Catalans have been keen on the Colombian for many months now and could explore the idea of signing him in the summer. Diaz and Liverpool are yet to enter contract talks, which is a big indication of his future being insecure at Anfield, as the club have already placed a £60 million asking price on the winger.
Diaz has been a regular under Arne Slot, playing in 45 games while providing 15 goals and 8 assists across all competitions. Liverpool reportedly feel they can upgrade on that position, which could see the 28-year-old sold for the right price, as Barcelona could well emerge as a credible option.
Luis Diaz set for showdown talks
Diaz will enter the final two years of his deal in the summer, which does represent the best possible time for Liverpool to cash in if they have plans to sell. There are links to Xavi Simons as well as Jamie Gittens, as these are talents that would be deemed as upgrades over the 28-year-old Colombian.
Diaz is now set for showdown talks with Liverpool over his future, as the player and his agent might be keen to explore what the club have in store for them. As things stand the jury continues to lean towards a potential sale rather than offering a new deal, as Arne Slot could then use the funds to shape his attacking setup to his specifications.
