After winning a battle with Tottenham Hotspur in the winter of 2022, Liverpool succeeded in acquiring Colombian international Luis Diaz. From the moment he joined the club, he showed an excellent combination with the front three, and showed a fit that was hard to believe in his first game.
Since then, he has continued to contribute goals and assists with his dribble penetration. Although there were times when he looked tired, he has regained his sharpness in recent games and has been a driving force for victory, running until the final minutes of games in a team that has been plagued by a string of injuries.
In his native Colombia, the 27-year-old winger has overcome the kidnapping of his parents, a major incident that has made him mentally stronger. His father has said that playing for Barcelona is his son’s dream, and rumors of a move to Spain have begun to circulate, with Liverpool willing to sell the player, according to The Sun.
He has started to play for goals more often than when he first joined the club, and he continues to show that he can compete with the likes of Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool’s ability to break down from the left wing has been one of their strengths and should continue to be a valuable asset next season with a new head coach.
The Reds are not going to let go of their main man, and with the departure of Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian on the opposite flank, there is no way they will allocate their budget to a left winger in order to get a replacement.
The only way this could happen is if the new manager deems the former Porto forward out of contention or if the player makes a direct request for a transfer. However, it is impossible to read the thoughts of the new coach when even the sporting director has not yet been decided.
Will the Colombian winger, who is said to be of interest to several clubs from Spain, leave Anfield with the end of Jurgen Klopp’s regime?
