Liverpool may have tied up Mohamed Salah in Anfield, but the future of another of their star attackers is questioning if, according to reports from Spain, he prepares the last two years of his contract with Barcelona to dive.
Contracts Sagas were a large subplot of the Premier League -winning campaign of Liverpool, with two of the three stars whose deals would expire at the end of this campaign that expanded their deals.
Salah and Virgil van Dijk both signed extensions for two years, so they kept them in Anfield until the end of the 2026-27 season. Trent Alexander-Arnold, however, did not come in to clear the conditions this summer for a free transfer to Real Madrid.
According to Sport.es, Liverpool will now have to decide whether to cash in on one of their appreciated assets with his value still high or convince him to sign a new deal.
Barcelona is said to be interested in Luis Diaz, in the conviction that the Colombian can play three of a front three – next to Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.
The La Liga champions of Hansi Flick want to take the next step in Europe after they fail to fall in their semi-final defeat of Champions League by Inter Milan.
The report explains that, with the new Nou Camp Stadium that is expected to be opened this year, the club is in a financial field and is ready to splash the £ 72 million that they understand will secure their husbands.
Earlier this month, Diaz, who scored 13 Premier League goals this season, stated that he was happy at Anfield and relaxed about his contract situation.
Diaz said to Telemundo: 'Yes, happy. From the first day I arrived, I have always been happy, calm, enjoying football in this great team.
'We will talk about it, we will talk about it (about the renewal). For me I would stay for many years, it also depends on the club, everything.
'These are details that have been solved separately. Very calm, I am happy and enjoy the Premier League. '
Diaz joined the Reds of Porto for £ 50 million plus add-ons in 2022, and the attacker went to Liverpool 41 times in 146 times.
Often implemented on the left wing under former manager Jurgen Klopp, Diaz was to work in a more central role, often under Arne Slot, with Cody Gakpo preferred on the left.
