Luis Diaz has just over two years left on his contract with Liverpool and although the Reds would very much like to retain the services of the winger, it seems that he might have been able to select his next employers
Luis Diaz could reach a child's dream and play for Barcelona if an agreement is not found through a new contract in Liverpool. The current deal of the winger runs until the summer of 2027, where the Reds reach a time where they have to bind him to a new contract or sell him.
It has already been suggested that the MerseSiders would like to extend Diaz's stay in Anfield, with a considerable wage increase that may be offered. And the former Porto star has since spoken to confirm that he would like to continue discussions.
“I am really happy and I have been that way since the first day I arrived,” he told the Colombian TV station Telemundo Deport about his future in Anfield.
“I have always been very calm and I really just enjoyed the football that is played by this great team, as part of this. We will talk, the conversation about it (his future) will happen. For me I would stay as long as possible.
“It also depends on the club, it all depends on the details. They are all details that have been solved separately. But I am very calm, very happy and I enjoy the Premier League.”
If conversations hit a stumbling block, Diaz seems to have already chosen his next club. In December the winger was connected to an relocation from Anfield, with Barcelona, ​​AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly among his admirers.
It was also suggested that Diaz had preferred a switch to Catalonia. Diaz's father also spoke about a possible move to Barcelona and claimed that it would have been a dream for his son.
“The truth is that I know very little about Barcelona at the moment,” Diaz Senior said. “It is true that Luis is a loyal fan of Barcelona and it would be his dream to go there.
