Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are reportedly plotting bids to sign a surprise Liverpool star who has had ‘disagreements’ with his current club.
It’s public knowledge that Mo Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, three of Liverpool‘s most important players, are out of contract at the end of the season.
Salah made the controversial decision to go out of his way to speak to the media and explain he is yet to receive an offer from the club, while Alexander-Arnold continues to be heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
But in a shock twist, it’s emerged that another key member of Liverpool’s squad could be on the move after contract negotiations didn’t quite go to plan.
According to a report from Antena 2, the Reds have been in contract discussions with forward Luis Diaz and even put an offer on the table.
However, it’s said the proposal did not meet the expectations of the Colombian, who has nine goals and two assists in 18 games for a side leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables.
Diaz’s deal runs until 2027 but talks for an extension haven’t “progressed as expected” and there have been “some disagreements”.

Both PSG and Barcelona, admirers of Diaz for quite some time, are said to be keeping tabs on the situation. The interest from the two is described as “latent”, with Liverpool expected to continue discussions with Diaz in the hope of coming to an agreement.
It’s said that if the two parties cannot do that, there is a possibility that Diaz becomes available in the summer window.
Diaz signed for Liverpool from Porto in 2022 for a fee of £37.5 million and has scored 33 goals in 116 appearances, winning both the FA Cup and Carabao Cups.
After a 2-0 win over Real on Wednesday, Liverpool are back in action on Sunday when they host Manchester City in a huge clash at Anfield.
