Liverpool have already undergone a lot of change this season, with several players already arriving at Anfield.
Luis Diaz remains one of the most exciting and unpredictable players in Liverpool’s squad, and from everything being said around the club, Arne Slot still sees him as a valuable part of his plans moving forward.
That being said, Liverpool’s model has always been about balancing ambition with business, and if a serious offer were to land on the table, the club would be ready to have that conversation — not because they want to sell Diaz, but because every decision this summer has been calculated and forward-thinking.
For weeks, Barcelona looked like the most likely destination. There were talks, links, and momentum building — especially with the uncertainty around their own transfer targets like Nico Williams. But as quickly as things picked up, they’ve gone quiet again. Right now, nothing is concrete and all signs point to the Catalan club focusing elsewhere. With that, any move to La Liga for Diaz appears to have stalled, and unless things change drastically, it’s probably off the table.
Still, we’ve learned not to make assumptions during a transfer window like this. Liverpool’s summer has already been full of surprises — big names in, fan favourites leaving, and record fees breaking headlines. The one consistent thing about this window is that no deal is ever fully off the cards until the deadline has passed.
With Diaz, it’s a wait-and-see situation. The club don’t need to sell. Slot doesn’t want to lose him. But as always with Liverpool, if the numbers are right and the timing fits the wider project, there’s always a scenario where a big move can happen. Until then, he remains a Red — and one who can still play a huge part in what’s shaping up to be a bold new era at Anfield.
