Since joining Liverpool from Porto in the winter of 2022, Colombian international Luis Diaz has led the attack, mainly on the left wing.
He has scored 33 goals and provided 16 assists in 120 games so far at Anfield, and continues to make his presence felt in a team with a different captain.
The 27-year-old left winger, who has also been linked with a move away from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, has received interest from Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
He is said to be close to renewing his contract with his club, but he has also received keen interest from Italy.
According to Anfield Watch, AC Milan are eyeing the Liverpool winger as an attacker to replace Portuguese international Rafael Leão, who has attracted interest from a number of strong clubs.
On the other hand, it also reports that it would be difficult to match the player’s demanding salary.
The Colombian international, who is underpaid despite being a mainstay at Anfield, is expected to demand a salary that could double or even triple if he signs a new contract with Liverpool, with a significant pay rise expected.
With Mohamed Salah’s departure uncertain and Darwin Nunez’s goal tally failing to improve, it seems unlikely that Liverpool would let go of one of their calculable attackers, but what happens now?
