The 27-year-old has impressed for the Reds this term, recording 13 goals and four assists across all competitions and putting in some blistering performances.
Even so, he and the club are at a crossroads where the Colombia international will either have his contract renewed or be allowed to leave Anfield. Díaz initially made the move from Porto to Liverpool in 2022 and hasn’t had a new deal since then, with his current contract ending in 2027. Despite three years remaining on that contract, there is still the feeling that a decision needs to be made on his long-term future.
Liverpool will be looking to bring in £75 million for Diaz if he does leave, with PSG being one of the interested clubs.
Barcelona would also want the winger but their financial situation would make it difficult for the Blaugrana to make an offer that the Reds would be happy with.
Interestingly, Diaz’s agent, Raul Costa, also represents Ruben Amorim, who has been heavily linked with the Liverpool job when Jurgen Klopp departs this summer after taking over at Anfield in 2015.

PAPER GOSSIP
– Calciomercato have said that Lille striker Jonathan David is being looked at by various Serie A giants, as the 24-year-old feels ready for his next step, while Les Dogues want close to €40m for the Canada international. AC Milan continue to monitor him, Juventus could be interested if Dusan Vlahovic leaves, Internazionale will move if Marcus Thuram departs, and Napoli see him as the perfect replacement for Victor Osimhen.
– Liverpool have Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie Frimpong on their radar, claims Football Insider, with Manchester United and Arsenal also looking at the 23-year-old. The Reds feel that Frimpong could allow them to push Trent Alexander-Arnold into midfield, although they are in no rush to sign him due to the emergence of Conor Bradley.
– La Gazzetta dello Sport have listed a number of player Juventus are monitoring. For the wing, disgraced Manchester United player Mason Greenwood, Lazio’s Mattia Zaccagni and Lille’s Edon Zhegrova are all shortlisted. For the midfield, they are looking at Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino and Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson.
– Tottenham Hotspur are among the Premier League clubs hoping to sign Athletic Club winger Nico Williams during the summer transfer window, according to The Telegraph. This comes with the 21-year-old having a release clause worth £42.8m.
– Athletic Club and Real Sociedad are among the clubs looking to sign Barcelona winger Dani Rodríguez, reports Mundo Deportivo. The 18-year-old has featured on Barca’s first-team bench once but hasn’t yet made it onto the pitch for Cules head coach Xavi Hernandez, and it is felt that he could get more opportunities elsewhere.
