Liverpool may be forced into Luis Diaz transfer decision after Arne Slot arrival

From the very first friendly back in last July, there was a determination from Luis Diaz to make up for time lost to injury during a miserable previous campaign for both himself and Liverpool.

Nobody, though, had quite a campaign as the Colombian. Now there is very much a sense the player is reaching a crossroads in his Anfield career following the departure of Jurgen Klopp as manager.Diaz's impressive pre-season form carried into the start of the Premier League with goals against Chelsea and Bournemouth in the opening two games, and then netting in the first Europa League group match against LASK Linz in Austria.

That all changed with an assist for Diogo Jota from the bench in the win at Burnley on Boxing Day, after which Diaz began to deliver the numbers, eight goals and five assists to go with his relentless performances down the left. They were often big goals, such as the FA Cup win at Arsenal and the League Cup semi-final at Fulham. He started every game in the second half of the Premier League season, one of Klopp's most trusted lieutenants.

The latest suggestion from Spain is Barcelona, despite their money worries, would be willing to pay £75m for a player the Reds brought from Porto for £50m in January 2022, with Diaz's father having suggested his son is a fan of the Catalans.
