Liverpool winger finally ready to negotiate contract renewal
Luis Díaz wants an improvement to his contract and the English club do not want him to leave in the summer.
Liverpool are more than pleased with Luis Díaz’s performances, and while their initial priorities this transfer window focused on renewing contracts for Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Díaz has emerged as a key focus due to his exceptional form.
The Colombian has been seeking a contract improvement for several months, as he remains one of the team’s standout players despite having one of the lowest salaries in the squad.

Reports say Díaz contract talks underway; foreign interest in player
According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool’s board and manager Arne Slot recently met with Díaz’s representatives and the player himself to express their satisfaction with his performances this season. They assured him that they have no intention of putting him on the transfer market in the foreseeable future.
Díaz is under contract with Liverpool until June 2027 and has been a vital player under Slot’s management. This season, he has excelled in various positions, including as a false nine—a role in which he has surprised many with his effectiveness. With 12 goals across the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, he is on track for his most prolific season at Liverpool.
Liverpool are determined to keep Díaz. Both Barcelona and PSG have reportedly shown interest in the Colombian winger, who, while happy with his role at the club, has expressed dissatisfaction with his current salary. To secure his future and fend off interest from other clubs, Liverpool plan to offer him a contract that reflects his contributions and importance to the team.
At 27, Díaz remains committed to being one of Liverpool’s most influential players. He is eager to support Slot in achieving the ambitious goal of winning both the Premier League and Champions League—a feat that seemed improbable at the start of the season.
