Luis Diaz’s representatives feel they may have no choice but to seek a move away from Liverpool this summer, according to TBR Football.
The Colombian forward has been a key figure in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield, making 43 appearances and contributing 13 goals and five assists.
Slot was reportedly impressed by Díaz early on, but speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona has persisted.

However, Diaz will enter the final year of his contract this summer, presenting a major decision for Liverpool’s new sporting director, Richard Hughes, and his team.
TBR Football claims that Diaz’s agents have informed Liverpool they will push for a transfer if a new contract is not offered.
Diaz has been keen to extend his stay at Anfield since last year, with both his father and representatives believing his performances this season would warrant a renewal.
