Liverpool winger comments on future amid Barcelona links | OneFootball

On Friday, Nico Williams ruled himself out as an option to strengthen FC Barcelona’s left wing, by announcing his contract renewal with Athletic Club until June 2035.

As a result, the Blaugrana’s attention has turned back to Liverpool and Colombia winger Luis Diaz, who had been the primary target for Deco before Nico emerged as an option.

Luis Diaz breaks silence on future

And soon after the news of Nico’s deal collapsing broke, Diaz spoke to Colombian broadcaster WinSports (h/t Mundo Deportivo), providing an update on his future.

In his brief statement, Diaz remained non-committal about a potential transfer, saying:

“We don’t know yet, we are talking to the board, I am comfortable where I am, and we have to see.”

The Colombian winger is considered a key target for Barcelona following the collapse of the Nico deal.

However, Liverpool’s stance and Diaz’s contractual situation suggest any movement would be complex.

After all, his current deal runs until 2027, and the Premier League champions have already issued a hands-off warning to both Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

But, reports in Spain suggest that there is a pact in place between Diaz and Liverpool for the Reds to sanction his departure if an €80 million offer arrives.

With the summer transfer window in full swing, Barcelona’s forward planning now faces renewed uncertainty.

Diaz’s words suggest that discussions about his future are ongoing with Liverpool, but no decision has yet been finalised.
