Liverpool forward to STAY after dramatic transfer U-turn | OneFootball

Liverpool won't pay Diaz's demands

But Liverpool seem reluctant to meet those demands. If Diaz is a little disappointed by that stance, it’s perfectly understandable.

After all, he scored 13 goals as the Reds won the Premier League title last season. He was a key figure under Arne Slot, despite his modest Liverpool career up to that point.

Barcelona, Bayern Munich and clubs in Saudi Arabia would all happily have Diaz - but Liverpool have been steadfast in their €80m valuation of the player. As such the market is quite restricted for Diaz unless Liverpool compromise on the fee.

The latest report from Colombia also suggests that Diaz is, in fact, dismayed by Liverpool’s stance over letting him leave.

Diaz is annoyed at Liverpool

Pipe Sierra, who regularly reports on Diaz and other Colombians in Europe, suggests that Diaz’s entourage believe Liverpool haven’t lived up to their promises.

“Luis Díaz and his camp are annoyed with Liverpool’s stance,” Sierra wrote on X. “They feel the club has gone back on their word (yet again with the player).

“Something similar happened before with his contract renewal and now with the possibility of a transfer.”

So what’s changed?

The journalist seems to be suggesting that Liverpool previously informed Diaz he would be free to leave this summer. But now it appears the club have told him he will be staying.
