Reports that Luis Diaz is on the verge of signing a new contract with Liverpool have been dismissed, according to Liverpool Echo.
The Colombia international is currently on the same terms as when he joined the club from Porto in January 2022 for an initial fee of £37.5 million.
Diaz has started the current campaign impressively, scoring three goals in his last two matches against Brentford and Manchester United.
Despite these performances and speculation linking him with Barcelona over the summer, Luis Diaz still has three years remaining on his current deal.
Recent reports suggesting that Liverpool are set to negotiate a new contract with Díaz’s representatives are believed to be inaccurate.
Both the player and the club are reportedly content with the current arrangement, and Liverpool’s immediate focus is on other contract issues.
Key players such as Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk are all in the final years of their respective contracts.
Claims that Diaz’s weekly wage is around £55,000 have also been refuted.
The value of his contribution to the team is acknowledged, and while discussions about a new deal may arise in the future, there is no indication that contract negotiations are imminent at this time.
Having made 101 appearances for the club, with 27 goals and 14 assists, Diaz has already demonstrated his value to the Reds.
He is now adapting well to Slot’s new system. The arrival of Slot seems to have revitalized several players, including the Colombian.
Salah admitted after Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United that he felt out of his “comfort zone” once again.
“It’s quite tricky to say, but we had Jurgen for seven years, so you kind of get in your comfort zone somehow,” Salah told Sky Sports.
“He was always trying to push us outside our comfort zone, but you know, if you are with a manager for seven years somehow you get into your comfort zone.
“But with a new manager, he comes with his style and he just wants everybody to adapt.”
