Despite Barcelona’s interest in Luis Díaz, the situation remains the same. Liverpool have not received any offers and coach Arne Slot is planning the season with the Colombian in mind. For now, the reinforcements that the coach is looking for are: central defender, winger and a first line midfielder. On the left wing he has Lucho, Gakpo and Jota.
Surely the name of Luis Díaz will continue to be heard until the season starts or they pay Liverpool the amount they are asking to let him leave the club (more than 59 million euros). For now, the winger is still playing the Copa América with the Colombian National Team and this Friday he will have a new challenge facing Costa Rica, a team that is also wary of facing “one of the best wingers in the world”, as Gustavo Alfaro described him.
Slot seeks reinforcements, but counts on Luis Díaz
From England they say that Arne Slot is looking for reinforcements for next season, but that Nico Williams is not in considerationbecause although he wants a more extreme, It would be on the right sector since on the left they have three top-level players (Díaz, Jota and Gakpo).
“They are also interested in adding a winger to increase their options in that department, but Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams is not under consideration. On the left wing they are already well served with Luis Díaz, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota. “Liverpool is planning the new season with Díaz, despite interest from Barcelona,” reported TheAthletic.
The English media also clarifies that if an offer for the Colombian arrives, they will only be willing to negotiate starting from a certain figure. “Caoimhin Kelleher and Díaz remain part of Slot’s plans for next season and only offers above £25 million and £50 million respectively could make Liverpool reconsider”.
