Luis Diaz is reportedly attracting interest from at least four European clubs, according to the latest report from Colombia.
Diaz has been one of Liverpool’s most important players this season. The Colombian has made 42 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions this season, scoring 13 times and providing five assists.
Arne Slot has also found his versatility useful, with the Dutchman deploying the 28-year-old through the middle in some games this season.
However, despite his importance to the Reds and his stature as a nailed-on starter at the club, Diaz’s future remains uncertain going into the summer transfer window.
Manchester City and Barcelona pursued the winger in the summer. However, Liverpool were reluctant to lose their star player and were able to keep him.
David Ornstein recently confirmed the story, revealing that Barcelona’s admiration of the star is genuine.
With the previous summer debacle behind, Liverpool opened contract talks with Diaz sometime last year. The Colombian’s current deal at Anfield runs till 2027, and the club is said to be willing to extend it.
However, they have been unsuccessful in their attempt to renew his deal, and this has led to even more uncertainty about his future.
According to several reports, Barcelona remains keen on Luis Diaz and will return for him in the summer. And now, Colombian outlet Antena 2 has named four other clubs as potential suitors for the winger’s signature.
Per the report, Diaz has serious interest from several European clubs, including Barcelona, PSG, Manchester City and AC Milan. The report also adds that clubs in Saudi Arabia are also likely to move for him.
“The Barrancas native has five options to continue playing international football,” the report noted.
“Barcelona is the first name on the list. The Catalan club has declared him a target in the transfer market and has already contacted his team. In addition, PSG, Manchester City and Milan are other European teams that would seek to have the Colombian in their ranks for next year, although offers from other markets, such as Saudi Arabian football, are not ruled out, which represents large amounts of money for the Colombian attacker.”
