The Liverpool star would prefer to join Barcelona if he moves away from Anfield
The future of some Liverpool players is uncertain due to their contract situation at Anfield.
The likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk are in the final year of their contracts at the club.
However, there is one more player who could be on his way out of Anfield after failing to agree a new contract with the club.
According to the Spanish publication Antenna 2Liverpool are facing challenges in their attempts to extend the contract of winger Luis Diaz.
The report suggests that if a new deal can’t be agreed, Diaz could prefer a move to Barcelona, although other top-flight clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are also closely following your situation
The Colombian is a key player for the Reds and his contribution in attack has been key for Arne Slot’s side this season.
He has contributed to the team reaching the top of the table in the Premier League and the Champions League.
The report has mentioned that Liverpool value the player at around €80m (£66.2m / $83.5m) but that signing for that amount would not be possible for the club from Barcelona with financial problems.
The player is intent on joining the La Liga giants, but they will face hurdles in signing him from Liverpool.
Luis Diaz has been a key member of Liverpool
The striker has scored nine goals and provided three assists for the Premier League giants this season.
Diaz has blocked the left-back position and is a certain starter for Liverpool.
The Merseyside club would prefer to keep the player and they should do everything possible to keep him at Anfield for a long time.
With Salah entering the final two years of his Premier League career, it is crucial for Slot’s side to keep players like Diaz who are goalscorers and goal creators.
The Colombia international still has a long way to go in his career and can continue to improve his level as a player, but whether it will be at Liverpool or elsewhere remains to be seen.
Díaz’s partner Alexander-Arnold was tipped to leave Premier League team in the near future while Lyon’s attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki has been linked with a move to Anfield.
