Uncertainty has hovered several weeks above Anfield. After a season marked by his key role in the conquest of the title of champion of England, Luis Diaz found himself in the center of all attention. Several signals suggested that the Colombian winger could leave Liverpool this summer: an accentuated media presence, enigmatic posts on social networks, but above all, the interest of several major European clubs.
The pressure has mounted a notch when FC Barcelona, looking for offensive reinforcements, officially approached Liverpool to attach the services of Diaz. The player, under contract until 2027, could be seduced by a new challenge in Liga. However, the leaders of the Reds, through the voice of their sports director Richard Hughes, quickly cut off speculation: Luis Diaz is not for sale, whatever the sum proposed.
This firm decision reflects the English club's desire to build the new Arne Slot era around solid frames. Diaz, author of 13 goals and 7 assists this season, remains a central element of the project. Despite the enticing offers from Spain, Liverpool intends to keep its offensive balance, already disturbed by the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid and the recent arrival of new talents like Jeremie Frimpong or Florian Wirtz.
Diaz, the Spanish temptation is moving away
A time, the name of Luis Diaz circulated on the side of Paris Saint-Germain, eager to strengthen his attack with an element of experience. But the French club quickly turned to other profiles and was no longer among the serious contenders for the recruitment of the Colombian. Diaz, for his part, has never displayed the slightest desire to join Ligue 1, preferring to focus on his English adventure.
By confirming his desire to keep Luis Diaz, Liverpool sends a clear message: the pillars of the locker room will not move, despite the requests. At 28, the former Porto player remains one of the major offensive weapons of the Reds. What reassure the supporters, and calmly prepare for the next season, under the sign of continuity and found ambition.
