Luis Díaz hasn't had a positive season, especially during this 2025 where he hasn't seen a single one. Although he's a starter for Liverpool , and has returned to his natural position as a left winger, his performance is far from what he was used to in England and with the Colombian national team .

As expected, Néstor Lorenzo did not hesitate to take him into account for these two dates of South American Qualifiers in March when they face Brazil and Paraguay , but just at that moment, he suffered a hard blow due to the exit from the Champions League , falling on penalties against PSG and where, the bad decisions left him in evidence again.

Given this situation, Liverpool is expected to pull off a sweep next season. The Reds are eyeing the Premier League title , but with their excellent first phase in the Champions League, it was hoped they could make a splash and perhaps reach the final.

The premature elimination was costly, and players such as Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah , among others, are expected to leave the club, given that they have not renewed their contracts and have not commented on a possible extension.

THE BLOW TO LUIS DÍAZ: THERE WILL BE A REPLACEMENT

Arne Slot has converted Luis Díaz's position and used him as a left winger, which is where he feels most comfortable on the pitch, and as a leading striker when he starts with Cody Gakpo on one side and Mohamed Salah on the right.

Luis Díaz has also not commented on whether or not to renew his contract, and much depends on the financial situation, which leaves him hesitant about whether to sign or leave. Given this situation, Liverpool has not sat idly by and is looking to sign Anthony Gordon, the leading candidate to strengthen the left flank. A decision that would affect the Colombian.

However, there could also be a replacement at number 9. Darwin Núñez will be Liverpool's first departure since the Champions League exit, and ideally, Luis Díaz could be there if Arne Slot wants him. However, the idea has been to sign one of the promising attackers for a few months.

It's Newcastle's Alexander Isak . In fact, Fabrizio Romano stated, " Liverpool will be there to pursue Alexander Isak. It's going to be a busy summer for them. We'll talk about that in the coming days ." The two positions they want to strengthen are precisely those in which the Colombian could figure.

All of this, coupled with Lucho's dissatisfaction with financial matters, could jeopardize a possible renewal. This is a major blow to the Colombian after the elimination, which has seen the doors closing on him with replacements.
