Barcelona have made an approach to sign Luis Diaz(Image: Getty Images)

Liverpool have told Barcelona they have no intention of selling Luis Diaz this summer.

The Reds have rebuffed an approach from the Spanish giants for the Colombia winger.

Diaz, 28, has just two years left on his current contract at the club and has been subject to numerous links this summer about a move away.



He is an important player under boss Arne Slot and scored 17 goals last season in all competitions as the Reds won the Premier League title.

But there are also no plans to open contract talks yet with Diaz with only two years left on his deal.

Liverpool are ready to maximise his current abilities in his peak years rather than sell for below his valuation just because of his contract situation.

That would mean they would be prepared to allow him to leave for nothing in two years.

The Colombia international has indicated that he'd like to stay, too.
