Liverpool winger Luis Diaz is reportedly considering a move away from the club at the end of the season. According to Mundo Deportivo, the 28-year-old is eager to join Barcelona and is willing to wait as long as necessary to secure the transfer.
The report also suggests that Diaz may try to force an exit from Anfield if Barcelona makes an official approach, though Arsenal has also been linked with interest. The Colombian international has been a key player for Liverpool this season, contributing 13 goals and five assists. His departure would significantly weaken the team’s attack, and it remains to be seen if Liverpool can persuade him to stay. The Reds are already exploring potential replacements.
Liverpool Determined to Retain Diaz
New manager Arne Slot values Diaz highly and is keen to keep him at the club beyond this season. With Mohamed Salah set to become a free agent in the summer, Liverpool cannot afford to lose two of their primary wingers in the same transfer window.
Despite Diaz’s desire to join Barcelona, his contract with Liverpool runs until 2027, making him an expensive target. Given Barcelona’s well-documented financial struggles, they may find it difficult to meet Liverpool’s asking price.
Liverpool is focused on competing for major trophies in the coming years and will prioritize keeping their top players, including Diaz. Former manager Jürgen Klopp previously described the winger as “really, really special.”
Meanwhile, Barcelona is looking to strengthen their attacking options, and Diaz’s versatility, pace, and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive prospect. If they can afford him, he could be a valuable addition to their squad.
