Liverpool winger **Luis Díaz** has reportedly been left **“surprised and disappointed”** after the club unexpectedly backtracked on plans to begin talks over a contract extension, according to *Rousing The Kop*.
Earlier in the season, **informal discussions were anticipated** to take place once the campaign concluded, with Díaz and his representatives confident that his strong performances under new manager Arne Slot had earned him an upgraded deal. The Colombian international played a key role in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign, contributing with goals, assists, and relentless energy on the left wing.
However, the club’s stance has taken an **unexpected turn** — and it now appears that **no formal contract renewal offer is on the table**, nor is one expected in the near future. This sudden shift has reportedly **caught Díaz’s camp off guard**, especially considering his growing importance within the squad.
Despite this, Liverpool have made it clear they **do not intend to sell** the 27-year-old. The Reds have already turned down interest from **Barcelona**, who are believed to be long-time admirers of Díaz. Still, the club is understood to have a **valuation prepared** in case serious bids arrive — particularly with **Saudi Pro League clubs** monitoring his situation closely.
The decision not to push ahead with new terms raises questions about the long-term vision under Arne Slot and how Díaz fits into that picture. While not officially on the transfer list, the existence of an internal price tag suggests **Liverpool could be open to letting him go** — if the offer is right.
As the summer transfer window heats up, **Díaz’s future is once again in the spotlight** — with both European giants and Middle Eastern clubs circling. Whether Liverpool are making a strategic decision or risking the morale of one of their standout performers remains to be seen.
