Uncertainty looms over Luis Diaz’s future at Anfield, with the Colombian winger reportedly feeling let down by Liverpool’s handling of his contract situation.
Despite playing a crucial role in Liverpool’s recent Premier League triumph — contributing 13 goals in league play and 18 across all competitions — Diaz is believed to be disillusioned with the club. The frustration stems from Liverpool’s reluctance to reward his performances with an improved contract, something many insiders had expected given his consistent involvement since his move from Porto.
Although his performances dipped sporadically throughout the season, Diaz remained a key figure under Arne Slot, offering tactical flexibility and energy in both wide and central attacking roles. However, behind the scenes, the mood appears to have soured.
Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra recently reported that Diaz and his representatives feel Liverpool has once again failed to honour verbal commitments — both regarding a possible transfer and a contract renewal. This isn’t the first time Diaz has felt misled, sources claim, compounding his frustration.
Diaz is currently under contract until 2027, but talks about extending and improving those terms have stalled. While many believed the process would be straightforward, Liverpool’s lack of movement has reportedly left the player feeling undervalued.
Barcelona — long admirers of the winger — and Bayern Munich are now closely monitoring developments. Although the Reds initially dismissed Barcelona’s advances, Diaz’s growing openness to a move may force the club to reconsider their position.
With Liverpool already locking in new contracts for key figures like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, and finalising signings such as Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez, attention now shifts to Diaz’s unresolved situation. Slot and the recruitment team face a pivotal choice: meet Diaz’s expectations or risk losing a vital part of their attack.
Meanwhile, fellow forward Darwin Núñez is also understood to be evaluating his future, adding another layer of complexity to Liverpool’s summer strategy.
