Although Luis Díaz has already made it clear that he is happy in Liverpool and that he does not want to leave there, In England they have no problem with the Colombian winger leaving the club, after rumors that have linked him with Barcelona as well as other clubs. Of course, they would hope to get good money with his transfer so that the new technical director Arne Slot can strengthen his squad very well for next season’s objectives.
Stan Collymoreformer Liverpool player between 1995 and 1997 and who also wore the shirts of Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Aston Vila, Leicester and the England National Team, He assured that although he has been a good player, he has not had the necessary perseverance to shineHe also sees him very far from the level of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez and even Diogo Jota. For this reason, the former attacker would be willing to give the Colombian attacker a way out.
“I think Luis Díaz is obviously a talented player, but Liverpool are not particularly short in attacking positions. If you look at Salah, Gakpo, Jota, Núñez and Díaz… they can afford to lose one… Díaz is strange because of his injuries, the situation with his father’s kidnapping that was obviously very traumatic during the season… sometimes He looks world class but in other cases he has a hard time establishing himself in the game,” he published in his column in CaughtOffside.
“In the pecking order of forwards at the club, you are looking at Salah, then Núñez, then Jota, then Díaz and finally Gakpo, so the Colombian is in the bottom two. Man for man, I don’t think any Liverpool fan would put Diaz between Salah and Nunez, for example, in terms of importance to the club. So I don’t have a problem with it going because it’s been good, but I don’t think it’s been stunning. At Liverpool, if you want to win titles, you have to be impressive. You have to reach your marks, you have to reach your statistics,” he added.
Luis Díaz, focusing on the Copa América
While his future is defined, which would continue to be in Liverpool due to Arne Slot’s desire to have him in the preseason and due to his contractual situation (he has a contract until June 2027), Luis Díaz is completely focused on the 2024 Copa América in which he will seek to take the Colombian National Team to the top and surpass what he achieved in the previous edition in which he won the prize for the tournament’s scorer and the revelation player.
“I am very happy there in Liverpool, it is a great team and club, I always wanted to play there, so I am very happy and calm. I’m not thinking about anything else, I’m thinking about the Colombian National Team, which is where we are,” he said after the victory against the United States in the first friendly in preparation for the tournament.
