Luis Diaz has revealed he is set to talk to Liverpool about signing a contract extension and has opened up on his plans for the future.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Colombia international’s current contract runs until 2027 and there has been speculation the Reds are willing to offer an extension in a bid to keep him at Anfield. The 28-year-old has been linked with a move to Barcelona, if a new contract cannot be agreed, although it remains to be seen if the Catalan giants could afford to bring him in due to their continued financial issues.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Diaz scored his 13th Premier League goal of the season on Sunday as Liverpool drew 2-2 with Arsenal in the Premier League. The 28-year-old was then quizzed on his future after the game and made it clear he is eager to join team-mates Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in continuing his career at Anfield
WHAT LUIS DIAZ SAID
He told Telemundo Deportes: “Yes, happy. From the first day I arrived, I’ve always been happy, calm, enjoying the football played at this great team,” he said.“We’ll be talking about it, we’ll talk about it [about the renewal]. For me, I would stay however many years it takes, it also depends on the club, everything. These are details that are sorted out separately. Very calm, I’m happy and enjoying the Premier League
