Liverpool Slap £60m Price Tag on Luis Diaz Amid Contract Stalemate
Liverpool Set Luis Diaz Price Tag as Contract Talks Stall
Luis Diaz may be finding his rhythm on the pitch, but questions continue to swirl around his long-term future at Liverpool.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano recently flagged the Colombian’s situation as one to watch this summer, with interest from Saudi Pro League clubs growing. The 28-year-old now faces a key decision on whether to stay at Anfield or pursue a move elsewhere.
Although Diaz is under contract until June 2027, there’s a growing sense he may not see out the full term.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool could be open to offers starting at £60 million if Diaz is receptive to a transfer. While the club has held discussions over a new deal, talks have yet to yield an agreement—potentially opening the door for a summer exit if the right bid comes along.
Liverpool shouldn’t be too quick to cash in on Luis Diaz—even if the deal looks profitable on paper.
Signed for an initial £37.5m (potentially rising to £50m with add-ons, per BBC) in January 2022, a £60m+ sale might appear to be smart business, especially with the winger approaching the later years of his prime.
While his form dipped with just one goal in 19 appearances prior to the recent Fulham loss, Diaz has bounced back impressively—scoring in back-to-back matches and registering a goal or assist in each of his last five Premier League outings (via Transfermarkt).
Reports from Christian Falk have linked Liverpool with interest in Kingsley Coman as a possible left-wing replacement, but the Bayern Munich star is older and has a concerning history of injuries—making it risky to offload Diaz in favour of the Frenchman.
In the end, every player has a price. And with FSG known for their measured, unsentimental approach to transfers, any decision will be calculated.
Still, Liverpool would be wise not to part ways with Diaz lightly. He remains the team’s third-top scorer this season with 15 goals and, when in top form, he’s a nightmare for defenders.
