Luis Diaz is reportedly unhappy with Liverpool as the club has not offered him a new deal yet.
Diaz was one of the best performers for the Reds last season. He played a key role in the team’s league triumph with his versatility and consistency.
The 28-year-old scored 17 goals across all competitions for the Merseyside club. He was seen playing in various positions based on the team’s needs.
Arne Slot used him both as a left winger and centre forward in his first season in charge. The Dutch manager still reportedly considers Luis Diaz a key part of his plans for the upcoming season.
As Diaz said earlier last month: “I’m very happy at Liverpool, I’ve always said it. They’ve treated me well since the first day… We’re talking with other clubs.”
He also added: “It’s the transfer window, it’s normal. We’re waiting to see what happens. If Liverpool renews my contract, or if I have to stay the two years I have left, I’ll be happy. It’s up to them.”
The Colombian has been shortlisted by major clubs in recent weeks. FC Barcelona and a top Saudi side have been monitoring him. Barcelona later shifted their interest to Nico Williams, reportedly seeing the Spanish youngster as a more suitable option, though Diaz was said to favour a move to the Catalan side.

Why Luis Diaz is unhappy with Liverpool
Despite delivering one of his best seasons for the club, Diaz reportedly expected Liverpool to offer him a new deal with an improved salary, as per Graeme Bailey.
The Colombian currently earns around £140k per week. His contract runs until 2027.
However, another top European club, Bayern Munich, attempted to sign Diaz this week. Nonetheless, Liverpool reportedly rejected the idea of selling him and prefers to keep the 28-year-old forward.
