Background. Following Colombia 's defeat to Argentina in the 2024 Copa América final , Liverpool backed 'Lucho' Díaz, and according to journalist James Pearce of The Athletic , there was no intention to sell him.
But… Díaz started the 2024-25 season on fire, scoring five goals in his first five Premier League matches . However, as is typical for all teams around the world, Liverpool's level dropped , and the Colombian winger's performance reflected this.
Is that why Liverpool changed its mind? In the space of six days, the Reds were eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 and lost the Carabao Cup final . Immediately afterward, the English team is reportedly close to making a decision that would affect Luis Díaz's future.
“Breaking news: Luis Diaz is likely to leave Liverpool in the summer , as is Nunez. Both players could be part of the club’s planned moves for the upcoming transfer window , two cases to watch. Luis Diaz was on Manchester City’s list last summer and is highly regarded by Barcelona , while Saudi clubs have him on their list after initial approaches in January.
