That’s as a result of Sky (through Sport) have reported that Liverpool and Diaz are in talks over a brand new contract, and provided that an settlement is predicted to comparatively simple, it could rule out any departure for him through the upcoming summer time switch window.
There was some discontent amongst Liverpool supporters with reference to Diaz, however head coach Arne Slot is the one which has been pushing for the Colombia worldwide to stay at Anfield. And with the Premier League title already wrapped up, negotiations have now began on this matter.
