Liverpool are preparing to initiate contract talks with Luis Diaz in an effort to ward off interest from Barcelona.
The Colombian winger has been in excellent form, attracting attention from some of Europe’s top clubs, including the Catalan giants.
Barcelona had shown strong interest in Diaz during the summer transfer window, but their financial difficulties prevented them from making a formal offer.
Despite this, they are still monitoring the winger closely.According to reports from TEAMtalk, Diaz is eager to sign a new deal with Liverpool.
The club is also keen to extend his contract, and negotiations could result in an extension soon. Despite the growing interest from other clubs, Diaz is reportedly happy at Anfield and remains fully committed to playing a key role in the new era under manager Arne Slot.
The report further emphasizes that Liverpool have no intention of selling Diaz and will not entertain any offers for the player.Diaz has become a vital part of Liverpool’s squad since joining from Porto in January 2022.
Under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot, the Colombian has made an impressive start to the current season. He has scored five goals and provided one assist in just five Premier League appearances, including a standout performance with two goals against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
In total, Diaz has contributed 29 goals and 14 assists in 104 appearances for Liverpool. His quick adaptation to the demands of the Premier League, combined with his consistent performances, has established him as one of the top wingers in European football.
Securing Diaz’s long-term future at Liverpool is a priority for the club as they aim to compete for major trophies this season and in the coming years.
His continued presence in the squad is seen as critical to Liverpool’s ambitions, especially as they rebuild under Slot’s leadership.
