Luis Diaz breaks silence on his Liverpool future with a huge transfer admission - after Premier League winners 'reject Barcelona's approach'
Luis Diaz has broken his silence on his Liverpool future after the Reds reportedly turned down an approach from Barcelona.
The winger's future is uncertain as he enters the final two years of his deal and Mail Sport understands he is due to discuss the situation with club chiefs.
Diaz has enjoyed a successful time at Anfield since joining from Porto midway through the 2021-22 season, winning five trophies and scoring 41 goals.
Liverpool rejected an approach from Barca and are seemingly happy to let him run his contract down and leave on a free, The Athletic has reported.
Dias, speaking on international duty with Colombia, did not commit his future either way.
'I'm very happy at Liverpool,' he said. 'They've treated me well since the first day.
'We're talking with other clubs. It's the transfer window, it's normal.
'If Liverpool renews my contract, or if I have to stay the 2 years I have left, I'll be happy. It's up to them.'

Coco Gauff admits French Open win ‘wasn't pretty' after beating Aryna Sabalenka
Coco Gauff admitted her first French Open title win 'wasn't pretty' after she battled Aryna Sabalenka and the elements to reign on the Paris clay. The 21-year-old American, seeded second, came from a set down to beat world number one Sabalenka 6-7 (5) 6-2 6-4. Advertisement A stiff breeze swirled around Court Philippe-Chatrier and contributed to a combined total of 100 unforced errors and 15 breaks of serve. It was Gauff who coped better with the conditions to add the Roland Garros title to her 2023 US Open crown. Gauff coped better with the windy conditions (Jon Buckle/PA) 'it was super tough when I walked on the court and felt the wind because we warmed up with the roof closed,' she said. 'I was, like, 'this is going to be a tough day', and I knew it was just going to be about willpower and mental. Advertisement 'It really came down to the last few points, but overall I'm just really happy with the fight that I managed today. 'It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done, and that's all that matters.' NEW QUEEN OF PARIS 👑 #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 7, 2025 It was the first time the top two women's seeds had contested a Roland Garros final since Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova in 2013. Sabalenka edged a tie-break to win the opening set, which at 77 minutes lasted nine minutes longer than the entire match the last time Gauff was in the Roland Garros final, a chastening 6-1 6-3 defeat by Iga Swiatek three years ago. Advertisement But at the start of the second Gauff inflicted a fifth successive break of the Sabalenka serve and finished it with an overhead Gauff was the more composed player by now and edged a break ahead in the decider, while Sabalenka moodily eyeballed her coaching team in the players' box. Sabalenka won the first set but could not halt the comeback (Jon Buckle/PA) Sabalenka drew level at 3-3 but promptly double-faulted to give Gauff three break points, and she dispatched the first with another precise swish of her backhand. At 5-3 the 27-year-old Belarusian bravely held to make Gauff serve the match out. Advertisement In keeping with the previous two hours and 38 minutes, a match point came and went, as did a break point. But when the second chance arrived and Sabalenka swung wide, an elated, tearful Gauff fell to the clay as she celebrated a stunning win. Sabalenka, a vivacious presence throughout the fortnight both in person and via her social media output, was an uncharacteristically ungracious loser. 'I mean, honestly sometimes it felt like she was hitting the ball from the frame,' she said. Advertisement 'Somehow, magically the ball lands in the court, and you're kind of on the back foot. 'It felt like a joke, honestly, like somebody from above was just staying there laughing, like, 'let's see if you can handle this'. 'I was just making unforced errors. I think she won the match not because she played incredible; just because I made all of those mistakes, kind of like from easy balls.'

Forget paying France to stop migrants – spend it destroying UK black market that lures them here
Migrant millions wasted on French IN THE last ten years this country has handed the thick end of £1billion to France to stop the boats. What has it achieved? 1 Since 2018, more than 150,000 people have made the perilous Channel crossing as French cops watched them go. This year alone nearly 15,000 have come across in small boats, a 42 per cent increase on the same time last year. In any other business, investing £800million for such a disastrous return would be seen as a catastrophic failure on all sides. But the shameless French don't care when it comes to our taxpayer cash. Despite their flop they are now demanding even more money to intercept boats in shallow water. What a disgraceful cheek. We have no guarantee French cops will approach the task with any more enthusiasm if we fill their pockets yet again. In fact their police union leader seems to despise migrants so much that he appears happy to see the back of them. Since removing the Rwanda deterrent, Sir Keir Starmer's attempts to stop the boats or the gangs have floundered. But rather than gifting hundreds of millions more to the French, the PM would do better to look in our own backyard. Fury as hotel firm housing asylum seekers in 'all-inclusive resorts' paid £700M a year of YOUR money Spend the money destroying the booming black market that is such a magnet for migrants in the first place. Without the lure of illegal cash-in-hand jobs thousands would never risk the treacherous crossing in the first place. Boom & boast RACHEL REEVES will this week boast of an £86billion investment in Britain's fastest growing sectors. The Chancellor's Spending Review bonanza will focus on tech, sciences and defence. If it boosts business and creates jobs it is well worth shouting about. With growth as slow as a snail carrying a sandbag the economy needs help. But this cash has to come from somewhere. Spend, spend, spend is all very well. As long as it isn't followed in October by tax, tax, tax. Sprout of order Wouldn't it have been nice for someone else to have paid the bills. Which is exactly what happened to Lib Dem MP Sarah Gibson when she got the taxpayer to pay for her £154 festive party. She should be deeply ashamed for claiming it on her Commons expenses when millions are feeling the pinch.
