Born in Barrancas, he worked for Juniors and Porto before joining Liverpool in the winter of 2022. He has made over 100 appearances so far this season, and has improved his scoring this season, showing his strengths outside of cutting in from the left flank.
Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has supported the front line in good form since the start of the Premier League season.
Manager Arne Slot has recognised the Colombian winger’s ability and treats him as a regular, and Liverpool have no obligation to let him go. However, throughout the summer transfer window, there have been reports of interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
According to SPORT, the 27-year-old left-winger was close to leaving Anfield, but has decided to stay at Liverpool after some persuasion from the Dutch captain and the club.
He has a contract remaining until June 2027 and cannot leave on the player’s own volition. Furthermore, who knows if he was really thinking of leaving Liverpool, as he has been a mainstay in the team since the days of Jurgen Klopp.
Recently, it has been reported that the Reds are preparing a new contract in order to keep the player on Merseyside. If he does sign a new contract, he would get a significant pay rise and would certainly be one of the top weekly wages in the team.
Whether the reports are true or false, the Colombian international has settled into Slot’s style of play and has just begun his new career as a centre-forward.
Supporters would like to see his contract renewed as soon as possible to reassure them, but what does the future hold for Diaz…?
