Liverpool are ready to reward Luis Diaz’s red-hot start-of-season form with a new contract at Anfield.
The Colombia international has played a vital role in Arne Slot’s plans so far this campaign with five goals in five Premier League games.
Diaz scored eight league goals last season, and he is expected to surpass that mark before the end of 2024, and Liverpool are planning for his long-term future.
Contracts are a major talking point at Anfield, with the club also preparing renewal talks with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
The trio are in the final year of their respective contracts, with Diaz’s running until 2027, but Liverpool are keen to fend off rumours of interest from Barcelona.
According to the latest news from Teamtalk.comTalks with Diaz’s representatives are progressing positively and the club hopes to reach an agreement in the coming months.
Liverpool have reportedly told Diaz’s agent that they are unhappy with the perceived reception to Barcelona’s interest, but that has not impacted their desire to keep the 27-year-old.
13 goals in all competitions caught the eye last season as Diaz looked well-established on Merseyside, but he could break the 20+ barrier for the first time in his career if his form continues.
