The future of Liverpool forward Luis Diaz at Anfield appears to be increasingly uncertain, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) reportedly eyeing the Colombian sensation. Despite registering nine goals and two assists from 18 games across competitions, Diaz’s contract talks with the Merseyside giants have hit a roadblock due to his dissatisfaction with the proposed terms.
Liverpool’s 27-year-old contract with Diaz runs until 2027, but the player’s impressive form this season has caught the attention of multiple clubs across the continent. The Reds have initiated talks to extend Diaz’s stay at the club, but negotiations have stalled amidst his demands for a better contract. The Catalan giants, Barcelona, are long-time admirers of Diaz and believe he could be the ideal candidate to fill their left-forward role, potentially adding more depth to their attack.
PSG, on the other hand, are also eyeing the Colombian as an option, as they look to bolster their attacking lineup for 2025. Liverpool may be tempted to cash in on Diaz for a fair fee in 2025 if renewal talks fail to reach a breakthrough. Meanwhile, Barcelona’s focus on free agents has inadvertently led to rumors linking them with a move for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, whose contract with the Reds is nearing its expiration.
Recently, Salah revealed that he has yet to receive a renewal offer from Liverpool, sparking speculation about his future at Anfield. The Egyptian forward, 32, has been linked with a move to Barcelona, given his contract situation and the LaLiga giants’ need for attacking additions. However, a recent report from Fichajes suggests that Barcelona is not considering a move for Salah due to his hefty wages, which reportedly stand at £25m per year with Liverpool.
While Barcelona has been linked with a move for Salah, Liverpool remains determined to tie Diaz down to a new deal. The Reds believe that the Colombian is crucial to their attacking setup and are willing to invest in his future. However, it remains to be seen whether the two parties can come to an agreement, or if Diaz will part ways with Anfield to pursue a new challenge in 2025.
