Liverpool winger confirms desire to stay at the club in a major boost for Arne Slot
The 27-year-old stated that he is happy at the Premier League club.
Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, who attracted attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe, has maintained that he is still "happy and relaxed" at the Merseyside club.
This year, there has been more conjecture over Diaz's future but the Colombian has stated his intention to continue at Anfield.
The former Porto player has been a regular starter at the club since joining back in 2022.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X, the Colombian international has claimed that he is happy playing for the Reds in the Premier League and not thinking about anything else.
Romano tweeted:
“I’m very happy there at Liverpool, it’s a great team and club, I’ve always wanted to play there, so I’m very happy and relaxed”.
“I’m not thinking about anything else”.
In 94 games, he has scored 24 goals and provided 10 assists, helping Liverpool win the FA Cup and Carabao Cup twice.
As Colombia gets ready for the Copa America later this month, where they will play in the group stage against Brazil, Paraguay, and Costa Rica, Diaz is preparing to take part in the competition.
This should come as a huge boost to new Liverpool manager Arne Slot who is hoping to keep the best players at the club to start his tenure.
Following the departure of Jurgen Klopp from Anfield, Slot has the responsibility of taking charge of the team and challenge for trophies again next season.
In 37 Premier League matches last season, Diaz scored eight goals and provided five assists for the Reds, helping them finish third in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup.
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Premier League rivals Manchester United are monitoring Sporting centre-back Goncalo Inacio, who has a €60m release clause in his contract with the Portuguese club.
