Liverpool continue their free fall and are hoping for Luis Diaz to return to the pitch as soon as possible, and that it will be against Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, while the Colombian continues his recovery, a former Reds player called for the renewal of a player and did not hesitate to defend it, criticizing the Colombian.
Paul Ince, who played for Liverpool between 1997 and 1999, said the club should renew Roberto Firmino, claiming that Luis Diaz does no more than the Brazilian. "As much as Liverpool have invested in very good players like Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, they don't do what Roberto Firmino does," he told the English media outlet Empire of the Kop.
Since the Colombian joined the Reds in the winter transfer window of the 2021/22 season, in 38 games Luis Diaz has scored six goals and provided 10 assists and helped the team with his attacking contribution and dribbles to win trophies and also the fans. Despite that, Ince insisted on the need to renew Firmino and gave his reasons:
"Firmino used to take the centre-backs out of position to allow Salah and Mané to find space. If I was Liverpool, I would look to keep him." Roberto Firmino is currently recovering from injury as is Luis Diaz, but reports from England claimed that the Brazilian's renewal would happen and it would only be a matter of time before it becomes official. "Klopp has admitted he wants the striker to stay at the club beyond the summer, while the player himself has admitted he is happy in a red shirt; we believe it is only a matter of time before Firmino's new contract is confirmed.
