Under contract until 2027, Luis Diaz would no longer feel in line with the Reds project, according to sources close to the file. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals that the player “currently weighs his options” for the summer transfer window. A news that falls badly for Liverpool, already faced with a possible revolution with the departure of Mohamed Salah.
Barcelona and Atlético in ambush for Diaz
In the crosshairs of two Spanish heavyweights, Diaz particularly attracts FC Barcelona. Joan Laporta and Deco, respectively president and sports director of the Blaugrana club, are longtime admirers of the Colombian. Atlético Madrid also follows the situation, seeking a world class winger to compete with Real.
Liverpool under pressure
Faced with the risk of seeing Diaz go free in 2027, the Reds could anticipate a sale this summer. Its current estimate (around € 60M) remains accessible for Spanish clubs, despite their financial difficulties. Liverpool leaders must arbitrate: rebellion to suffocate or cash in?
Saudi Arabia as a secondary option
According to Romano, Saudi clubs also monitor the file. A lucrative exit door, but unattractive sporting for Diaz, in full maturity at 27 years old.
Everything will depend on the will of the player. Diaz, who has scored 13 goals this season, must choose between the prestige of La Liga, the Saudi unknown … or a final challenge in Liverpool. One certainty: his departure would weaken an offensive sector already changing.
