Luis Díaz seems to have a clear position regarding the rumors about a possible departure from Liverpool in the next summer transfer window: will he leave or remain at Anfield?

For FC Barcelona, the name of Luis Díaz, a 27-year-old Colombian left winger currently at Liverpool, is not unfamiliar. Díaz from Barrancas was considered one of the forwards closely followed by the Barcelona sports management to strengthen the left flank, given his great ability to dribble, speed, and 'devilish' dribbling, being one of the best in his position. His mobility and versatility in the final third of the field make him a difficult player to counter.

Although initially it seemed that he was ruled out by Barcelona due to costs (his transfer for €80 million) and Arne Slot's interest in having him, recently his name has resurfaced to reinforce the Blaugrana left wing. Why? Because rumors have emerged at Anfield about a possible departure of Luis Díaz in the upcoming summer transfer market.

From England, it was asserted that the former Porto player is unhappy with his earnings, which have not been updated since his arrival in 2022 from Porto, earning £2,860,000 annually. Luis Díaz, considering his contribution to the team, would want to renegotiate his salary, something that has not been discussed much at Liverpool.

Luis Díaz's stance on leaving Liverpool

However, as reported by journalist Florian Plettenberg from 'Sky Sports Germany', the reality could be different. Luis Díaz would not intend to leave Liverpool, with whom he has a contract until June 2027. The Colombian maintains a good relationship with the Dutch coach and feels comfortable in the Merseyside team, without holding ongoing discussions with other teams.

In the 2024-25 season, the left winger has proven to be crucial for Liverpool, as evidenced in the last match against Tottenham, where he scored two goals in his team's 3-6 victory over the 'Spurs', totaling 11 goals and three assists in 23 appearances, being one of the top scorers alongside Mo Salah in the Anfield Road team.
