According to Pipe Sierra, Luis Diaz could angle a move out of Liverpool having grown angry with Liverpool and their stance on his future. The Colombian was an integral part of Arne Slot’s title-winning side last season, but the Merseysiders are unclear on what they wish to do with his immediate future as a new contract might not be forthcoming.
Luis Diaz’s future at Liverpool could potentially blow up into a big debate in the upcoming weeks. The Colombian, who was an integral part of Arne Slot’s title-winning team last season is left in limbo as to where his future lies next, as the club have taken a rather weird stance.
Liverpool snubbed an approach from Barcelona, a club Diaz has been linked heavily to in the recent past. The Colombian would love to play for the Catalans, although they have since made it clear that Nico Williams is their preferred target over Diaz, which could shut the door on a potential move to Barcelona.
With the Colombian about to enter the final two years of his deal, Liverpool have cooled contract talks. Hence, there’s no clarity on whether Arne Slot wants him to stay at the club, and if there will be a new contract forthcoming in the coming period, which does look unlikely.
Liverpool have not even indicated their willingness to sell, unlike their stance over Darwin Nunez. Hence, Diaz and his camp have grown frustrated and angry with the Merseysiders. This could lead to the 28-year-old Liverpool star considering his future at Anfield, which could potentially see him ask for a departure.
The signing of Florian Wirtz and the club’s indication that they might keep hold of Cody Gakpo might be a big indicator of how they view the left-hand side of the front three. However, Arne Slot has used the 28-year-old in a No.9 role many times, and should they fail to sign a new striker coupled with Nunez’s departure, the Colombian might have a future there.
Bayern Munich are interested and in the larger scheme of things probably the last of the top clubs who could potentially sign him. Hence, if a new contract is not forthcoming and Liverpool not accepting any approaches for the attacker, Diaz might end up forcing an exit.
