The future of several Liverpool players remains uncertain due to their ongoing contract situations at Anfield.
Key figures such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk are all in the final year of their current deals. However, another important player could also leave the club if a new agreement cannot be reached.
According to Spanish outlet *Antena 2*, Liverpool are struggling to secure a contract extension for winger Luis Díaz.
The report suggests that if negotiations fail, Díaz may favor a move to Barcelona. Other top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan, are also monitoring his situation closely.
Díaz has been pivotal for Liverpool this season, contributing significantly to their success in the Premier League and Champions League under Arne Slot.
With nine goals and three assists so far, the Colombian has solidified his place as the starting left winger for the Reds.
Liverpool reportedly value Díaz at €80 million (£66.2 million/$83.5 million), a price that could be challenging for financially troubled Barcelona to meet.
Despite Díaz’s reported preference for a move to La Liga, Barcelona would face hurdles in completing a deal.
With Salah nearing the twilight of his Premier League career, it is vital for Liverpool to retain players like Díaz, who are both prolific scorers and creative contributors.
The club is expected to make every effort to keep him at Anfield for the long term.
Meanwhile, speculation surrounds teammate Alexander-Arnold’s potential departure, and Lyon’s attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki has been linked with a move to Liverpool.
The uncertainty around Díaz’s future, however, remains a pressing concern for the Merseyside club.
