Liverpool Shut Door on Barcelona Approach for Luis Díaz
Liverpool has rejected Barcelona’s approach for Colombian winger Luis Díaz, insisting the 28-year-old remains untouchable despite intensifying transfer speculation.
Díaz, a key figure in Liverpool’s 2024/25 title-winning campaign, is under contract until 2027 and continues to attract interest from Europe and beyond.
Liverpool has firmly rejected Barcelona’s attempt to open talks with Colombian forward Luis Díaz, declaring the player “not for sale” amid increasing transfer speculation.
The 28-year-old winger, who was instrumental in the Reds’ most recent Premier League title victory, is still a target. Díaz still has two years left on his current contract, which expires in 2027. He joined the Merseyside giants from Porto in January 2022 for an estimated £37 million.
Díaz’s influence during the 2024/25 season was undeniable, netting 13 goals and providing seven assists in the league, helping Liverpool finish top of the table with a commanding 10-point lead. His pace, creativity, and tenacity have made him an integral part of Liverpool’s attacking arsenal, which the club is keen to preserve as they prepare for another competitive campaign.
While Barcelona’s interest has drawn fresh attention, Díaz is not new to transfer headlines. He was also on Manchester City’s radar last summer, and clubs from the Saudi Pro League continue to monitor his situation. However, Liverpool’s latest stance suggests that, at least for now, Díaz is going nowhere.
The speculation around his future gained momentum after both Díaz and his girlfriend shared lengthy, emotional posts addressed to Liverpool fans on social media messages that many interpreted as potential farewell notes. However, no official statement has been made regarding any desire to leave, and the player remains committed to international duties with Colombia ahead of the Copa América 2025.
Despite Barcelona’s approach and the growing interest from top clubs worldwide, Liverpool appears intent on holding onto their star winger as part of their strategy to remain at the summit of English football.
As the summer transfer window heats up, Luis Díaz’s name is likely to remain in the rumor mill, but for now, Liverpool fans can breathe easy knowing that the club considers him vital to their future success.
