Luis Díaz is indisputable, essential, indispensable for Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool. But that’s the problem: the German is on his way out and his pupil now has to defend himself.
The guajiro is having a great season, but the departure of the strategist largely marks the club’s future strategy and would be, according to The Sun newspaper, a sacrifice.
“Diaz is on track to be Liverpool’s biggest departure this summer. The Reds are willing to listen to offers due to their plethora of attacking options. The top priority for Jurgen Klopp’s successor is new contracts for Salah, Trent “Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk. And the result relating to Salah in particular will influence the future of Colombian ace Diaz, 27,” the newspaper said.
The Sun recalled that the Guajiro “had problems in the first half of the season, even before his parents were kidnapped in their homeland” but explained that many things are moving beyond his and Klopp’s management.
“Thiago Alcántara and Joel Matip will leave Anfield when their contracts expire this summer. Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Van Dijk only have one full season left on their current contracts. Saudi Pro League clubs and Paris Saint-Germain want Salah, while captain Van Dijk has retracted comments that he was unsure of his future following Klopp’s departure,” he said.
The Colombian’s termination clause is 80 million euros, which would distance him from a club like FC Barcelona, with which he was linked, since those funds do not exist to pay it. In any case, for The Sun, Spain could be the safest destination since there are other interested parties besides the Catalans.
Díaz has 25 games, 30 chances created, 6 goals and 3 assists in a season in which he looks solid, but he is still not close to the numbers of the Egyptian Salah.
His possible departure would also depend on the new coaching staff, which would have Xabi Alonso as the most important option.
