Two key updates have emerged regarding the futures of Liverpool attackers, as other players continue to react to the Reds’ Premier League title win.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
According to Colombian journalist Pipe Sierra on X, Liverpool “will enter into renewal talks” with Luis Diaz in the “coming weeks.”
The 28-year-old has impressed this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions, playing a big role in the title triumph.
Diaz is out of contract in 2027, however, and the upcoming talks will “determine whether he continues or if he can be sold in the summer.”
Sierra points out that the Liverpool winger is “on the club’s list of highest paid players,” so it’s now a case of reaching an agreement over an extension or sanctioning an exit.
Opinion may be split among Reds supporters over Diaz’s future, amid rumoured interest from Barcelona, but keeping him would surely be no bad thing.

More from This Is Anfield
This is a fantastic read from Steven Scragg for This Is Anfield, who was at Anfield to witness an unforgettable occasion on Sunday:
“For me and my Dad, this day was dreamt of for so very long, with the 30-year title drought having taken a toll on hope, the party of 2019/20 snatched away by Covid, and a couple of 90-plus-point campaigns that were denied the title, due to the doped-up achievements of a footballing variant of Ben Johnson and Lance Armstrong.
“For ‘Four in a Row’ also see: 9.79 seconds at the 1988 Olympics and seven Tour de France in a row from the late-1990s into the mid-2000s.
“Almost 87 now, although dementia and Alzheimer’s have dispossessed him of the finer memories of them, my Dad has lived 16 of the 20 league titles that Liverpool have won.”
