Liverpool are prepared to accept a “huge” offer for Luis Diaz amid growing interest from Barcelona ahead of the summer transfer window.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what sources have told him about the 28-year-old’s future at Anfield.
Talks have been ongoing about a potential new deal, with his current contract set to run until 2027, but if an agreement cannot be reached offers will be considered.
O’Rourke explained that if reports of a potential £85million offer are accurate, Arne Slot’s side will be forced to consider their options.
This comes after Football Insider revealed on 14 April that Liverpool will consider mega-money offers for Diaz, with £60million likely to be enough to reach an agreement.

The Reds would like to keep the Colombia international, but are open to “huge” offers which could allow them to reinvest in their squad.
O’Rourke explained that Diaz will turn 29 this season, leaving Slot’s side with a decision to make about the financial implications of any offer they receive.
“*If the reported £85million is true, it leaves Liverpool with a decision to make,*” he told Football Insider.
“They are in talks over a new deal.
“He’s got two years left on his current one at Anfield, but if nothing can be agreed on that new contract, it does open the door for Barcelona to lure him away.
“He’s 28 this year, turns 29 next January, so if Liverpool get a huge offer like that from Barcelona I’m sure it’s something they’ll have to consider.
“Not just from a football side of things, but a business side of things.
“That could go a long way to helping their own transfer kitty and transfer plans for the upcoming window.”

Arne Slot sets sight on Anthony Gordon deal
Amid speculation about Diaz’s future at Anfield, the Reds have begun identifying potential targets to strengthen out wide in the transfer window.
Football Insider exclusively revealed on 22 May that Anthony Gordon is still on Liverpool’s radar and could become an option this summer.
The 24-year-old came close to a move to Anfield last summer and told friends at the time that he was “very keen” on the switch.
This comes after Brown told Football Insider that Newcastle could be open to Gordon’s exit if they receive a “huge” offer as Liverpool continue to watch on.
