Luis Diaz confirms SURPRISE transfer talks | OneFootball

Luis Diaz's Colombia is set to take on Peru tomorrow night and ahead of the game he was in a press conference where he was asked about his future at Liverpool.

"I'm very happy at Liverpool," Diaz said.

"I've always said so. We're talking with other clubs. It's the transfer market, it's normal. We're waiting to see what happens and we're looking at the best for us.

"If they [Liverpool] offer us a good renewal or I stay there for the two years [of current contract], I’ll be happy. Now it's up to them."

This is a very interesting comment from Diaz. It confirms that he is in talks with other clubs at the moment. So interest from Barcelona could indeed be true.

It's also a bit of a surprise considering Liverpool's official stance. The Reds don't want to sell him yet Diaz is in talks with other clubs.

Although because Diaz said the plural 'clubs' it might mean that he's in talks with more than just one team. This opens up the possibility of other European clubs and even Saudi Arabian sides could try to poach him away from the Reds.

Obviously, based on his remarks it's important to note that he's content with Liverpool. He made that clear. However, mentioning the fact that he is in talks with other clubs, would suggest that he's at least considering his future away from Merseyside as well.

The situation is a developing one. Liverpool will be reluctant to lose Diaz, but for the right price, the club will have to consider it.

The left-wing market does offer up a few interesting players for Liverpool, with the likes of Anthony Gordon, Rafael Leao or Bradley Barcola potentially being available.
