Liverpool have rejected a £58million bid from for - but the Colombian international wants to leave Anfield.
Diaz has two years left on his contract at the club and the Reds are not interested in selling him this summer. They have been assertive that they won't be selling unless it's money they simply cannot turn down - potentially to the tune of £100m.
However Diaz, 28, has grown frustrated by the club's stance on his contract. He remains on the same deal that he signed when arriving from Porto in January 2022 for an initial £37.5m and is paid far less than a number of the club's top stars, not to mention top earners and who agreed extensions earlier this year.
Diaz has made 148 appearances for the club, scoring 41 goals and providing 23 assists in all competitions and scored 13 goals in 36 games for Arne Slot's men as they won the title last term.
But he spent parts of last season moved from his preferred left-sided position into the centre of attack as they ran into injury issues up top, with Slot preferring to use out wide and move Diaz infield.

"We’re in the process of negotiations, talking with the club, with , with everyone who’s approaching us. But I’m very calm where I am, you know, very happy. Trying to make the best decision now."
But with no sign of an improved deal forthcoming from the club's hierarchy, he has made clear his desire to move elsewhere.

Kompany has seen Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane both depart this summer, while Jamal Musiala suffered a serious injury during the FIFA Club World Cup to increase his need to add to his attack. Someone to operate down the German side's left flank has become his priority.
