A top Liverpool star has finally broken his silence regarding his future at the club amid rumours he could be set to leave in the summer.
Weeks after winning their 2024-25 Premier League title, Liverpool appear to be preparing for what could be the most important transfer window in years.
With several big players expected to join Arne Slot’s side, several other key members of the squad are expected to make way in the summer.
However, one star who many anticipated would be one of the first out the door has spoken out to address the rumours, and he’s made his decision.
Like several of their Premier League rivals, Liverpool are expected to go all out for at least one elite forward in the transfer window, with the likes of Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike linked.
In order to facilitate bringing in such important players, one of more of Liverpool’s current attacking options will almost certainly leave the club.
Reports have suggested that Luis Diaz is one of the forwards that the Reds were considering parting ways with after rumours he was interested in a move to Barcelona, but Diaz has now spoken out to deny this and commit his future to Liverpool.
When asked by American Spanish outlet Telemundo about his future, Diaz said: “Yes, happy. From the first day I arrived, I’ve always been happy, calm, enjoying the football played at this great team.
“We’ll be talking about it, we’ll talk about it (about the renewal). For me, I would stay however many years it takes, it also depends on the club, everything.
“These are details that are sorted out separately. Very calm, I’m happy and enjoying the Premier League.”

As it stands, Diaz is under contract with Liverpool until 2027, but a recent report from Sky Sports confirmed that talks to extend this deal will get underway in the summer.
However, Diaz’s preference to stay at Liverpool does not mean that he will definitely remain at Anfield next season as the club may decide that selling the Colombian international is preferable to offering him a renewal.
Since arriving from Porto in January 2022 for an initial fee of £37.5million, Diaz has made 146 appearances for Liverpool and scored – goals, the most recent being in the 2-2 home draw with Arsenal on Sunday.
