Luis Diaz wants Liverpool exit as Barcelona offer revealed
Luis Diaz could be on course to start next season as a Barcelona player as a Liverpool exit looms for the Colombia international.
Diaz has been a regular for Liverpool under Arne Slot this season, bagging 13 goals and three assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
With the attacker also contracted to the Reds until 2027, his future at Anfield does not require immediate attention like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, who are all in the final five months of their deals.
However, there are no guarantees that the 28-year-old will be on Merseyside to see out the remaining two years of his contract.

Luis Diaz offers himself to Barcelona
Diaz has offered himself to Barcelona ahead of the summer, according to Jose Alvarez Haya on El Chiringuito.
The journalist reported via the Spanish television program’s X account (19 February) that the Colombian’s agents have informed Deco that he is open to moving to Camp Nou at the end of the season.
This is not the first time Diaz is being linked with a move to the La Liga giants, with Deco said to have also met his agents in May last year [AS].
There is no smoke without fire and it appears the former Porto attacker joining Barcelona is a realistic possibility this summer.
As Diaz has two more years remaining on his contract, the Catalonian outfit would have to fork out a significant amount of money to acquire his services.

Arne Slot frustrated with Luis Diaz
This comes just days after Anfield Watch reported (8 February) that Slot has grown frustrated with Diaz as the season has progressed.
Meanwhile, there has been speculation about negotiations between Diaz and Liverpool over a new deal, although nothing has progressed on that front.
Therefore, the right-footed winger is one of the potential high-profile exits at Anfield this summer, with Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah also facing uncertain futures.
That means the Merseyside-based club could be set for a squad overhaul ahead of next season.
The attack may become an area of concern for Slot, especially if Diaz, Salah, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are all offloaded as reported.
