Luis Diaz has issued an eyebrow-raising statement on his future after the Liverpool forward was reportedly the subject of a bid from Barcelona.

Liverpool waved off Barcelona’s initial approach for Diaz, with the Premier League champions insisting he isn’t for sale.

Diaz netted 13 times in the league en route to Liverpool lifting their 20th title in English football, with the Colombian international registering a further five assists.



Alongside Barcelona, it was reported last summer that clubs in Saudi Arabia, as well as Liverpool’s Premier League rivals, had been sniffing around the ex-Porto man.

However, amid this summer’s transfer speculation, Diaz has responded to claims he could be on his way out of Liverpool, saying: "I'm very happy at Liverpool - I've always said so." Diaz didn’t go as far as completely ruling out a move though, hinting his future could hinge on how contract talks with the Merseyside outfit work out.

Slot insisted Liverpool didn’t need a major overhaul following their second title win in five years, saying last month: "We have just won the league, we were so competitive vs PSG, it is not easy to find better players to improve us.

They need to be available and we need to be able to afford them."

Captain Virgil van Dijk issued a similar verdict, saying: “Whatever happens in terms of players going out, players coming in, I think it should be a big summer.

I think Liverpool should be able to challenge for titles in the upcoming years.”
