Liverpool will only consider offers for Luis Diaz if the Colombian attacker pushes for an exit from Anfield amid interest from Barcelona.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are not overly worked up about the Luis Diaz situation, although they are prepared to sell the Colombian if he asks to leave. Barcelona saw an approach rebuffed by Arne Slot’s side, as there’s still no clarity on a new contract offer for the winger.

Luis Diaz was an integral part of Arne Slot’s first season in charge of Liverpool as he went on to lift the Premier League title. As the Dutch manager is seemingly prepared to revamp his attacking setup there’s the inclination to keep players like the Colombian, who brings a lot to the table with his versatility.

Arne Slot has used Diaz as a winger or as a striker in place of the misfiring Darwin Nunez, as the manager hopes to keep hold of the Colombian. Liverpool rebuffed an approach from Barcelona for Diaz, which showed their intention with the winger ahead of the summer.

Diaz was reportedly looking for an exit, although no credible reports are stating he is indeed keen on quitting for a new challenge. The interest from Barcelona and the subsequent approach to Liverpool does indicate that the player might be considering a change of scenery.

He also has the interest of Saudi Arabian clubs, who might end up paying what’s needed to tempt Liverpool into a sale. However, the current stance states that the 28-year-old Barcelona target is not for sale, although this narrative might change in the immediate future depending on different factors.

Will Liverpool sell Luis Diaz?

Those factors include a sizeable offer from an interested party as well as the player’s desire to quit Liverpool. The main story here is about how the Merseysiders will consider offers for the Colombian if he asks to leave the club.

Whether that comes about remains to be seen, as it will also be important to understand what Diaz wants with his future. He has a prominent role under Arne Slot, although he might seek a new contract, as without it he might indeed ask to leave Anfield this summer given he will enter the final two years of his existing deal.
