Luis Diaz has put the ball firmly in Liverpool's court after confirming he has held talks with rival clubs over a potential move.

The Colombian has only two years remaining on his contract and with talks over a new deal at an impasse, several top clubs around the world are interested.

One of those is Barcelona, though Liverpool firmly rejected an approach from the La Liga champions for Diaz on Thursday.



We are currently in contact with Liverpool, because we are talking to clubs," Diaz said.

"That's normal given the transfer market that's opening.

The Reds have insisted that they would only consider eye-watering money for the Colombian.

The Spanish champions approached the Reds about signing Diaz but it was rebuffed this week.

Liverpool are not prepared to sell the Colombian and their stance will only change if they receive a huge offer that would allow them to replace him with a similar or better player.

The Reds have noted that Manchester United ace Bruno Fernandes was valued at £85m by Saudi club Al-Hilal and is two years older than Diaz.

So they would want more than that to convince them to sell this summer.

Despite that, there are no plans to open contract talks yet with Diaz with only two years left on his contract.
