The futures of several Liverpool players are uncertain due to their contract situations at Anfield. Key figures like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk are all in the final year of their deals, and another important player, Luis Díaz, may also leave if a new contract cannot be agreed upon.
Spanish outlet Antena 2 reports that Liverpool are struggling to extend Díaz’s contract. If negotiations fail, the Colombian winger could be tempted to move to Barcelona, with other top clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan also monitoring his situation closely.
Díaz has been crucial for Liverpool this season, playing a significant role in their success in both the Premier League and Champions League under manager Arne Slot. With nine goals and three assists, he has firmly established himself as the first-choice left winger.
Liverpool are said to value Díaz at €80 million (£66.2 million/$83.5 million), a figure that might be difficult for financially-strapped Barcelona to afford. Despite Díaz reportedly preferring a move to La Liga, Barcelona faces challenges in securing the deal.
As Salah approaches the latter stages of his career at Liverpool, retaining players like Díaz, who are both goal-scorers and playmakers, is crucial. The club is expected to do everything it can to keep him at Anfield long-term.
Meanwhile, speculation continues about Alexander-Arnold’s potential departure, with Lyon’s Rayan Cherki being linked to a move to Liverpool. However, the uncertainty surrounding Díaz’s future remains a major concern for the club.
