Explained: Why Liverpool fear more interest in Luis Diaz despite hands-off warning to Barcelona as suitors circle for Colombia winger

<p>La Liga's champions reportedly inquired about Diaz's availability, only to be met with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-decision-luis-diaz-transfer-barcelona-approach-premier-league-champions-colombia-winger/bltca2e728fb53f89a4#cs3d8cb70916bb9c9a" target="_blank">swift and definitive response</a> - he is not for sale. While Barcelona have been officially rebuffed, Liverpool remain cautious of potential overtures from other suitors as Saudi Pro League outfit Al Nassr are monitoring Diaz’s situation closely and could table a significant offer later this summer, as revealed by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14785097/Liverpool-Luis-Diaz-Barcelona-Transfer.html" target="_blank"><em>Daily Mail.</em></a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arne Slot has reportedly earmarked Diaz as a vital piece in his blueprint for the 2025–26 season. The manager is believed to have no intention of parting ways with the Colombian unless an exceptional offer is made, one that would not only match his quality but also provide the financial flexibility to find a suitable replacement.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amid swirling speculation, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luis-diaz-barcelona-liverpool-forward-rejected/blte859dadd1e2a10f2#csdca252ec81a5d952" target="_blank">Diaz himself has spoken out</a> to cool transfer talk: "I'm very happy at Liverpool. They've treated me well since the first day. We're talking with other clubs. It's the transfer window, it's normal. If Liverpool renews my contract, or if I have to stay the two years I have left, I'll be happy. It's up to them."</p>

WHAT DIAZ SAID

<p>Manchester City reportedly considered making a move for Diaz last summer but ultimately chose to focus their efforts elsewhere. The winger’s current deal, signed after his move from FC Porto in January 2022, still runs well into his thirties, giving the club no urgent need to negotiate new terms at this time.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Liverpool will want to keep hold of Diaz, but if other lucrative offers arrive, they could change their mind and part company with the Colombian.</p>
