Luis Diaz is a professional Colombian football player currently playing for Liverpool F.C. in the Premier League. He was a key player in the Colombian squad during this year’s Copa America, helping his team reach the final.

Let’s take a closer look at what exactly is happening with Luis Diaz’s transfer rumors from Liverpool.
Luis Diaz transfer rumors debunked; will remain at Liverpool
Recent rumors suggesting a potential transfer of Luis Diaz from Liverpool to Manchester City have been debunked.
A report about a €70 million five-year contract between Luis Diaz and Manchester City fueled speculation about the Liverpool winger’s transfer. However, multiple sources have confirmed that this rumor is false. Even Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the invalidity of the rumor in a post on X, stating, “Manchester City sources deny any agreement with Luís Diaz after recent reports.”
After multiple sources confirmed that the move was just a false rumor, it has been established that Diaz will stay at Liverpool for the 2024-25 season. There were also reports about Luis Diaz’s possible move to Barcelona, but there is no confirmation regarding this. With Manchester City confirming that the rumors are untrue, there could be a higher chance of Barcelona pursuing him.
Luis Diaz joined Liverpool in January 2022 and has since become a key part of the team. Despite joining mid-season, he contributed to Liverpool’s successful FA Cup campaign that year. According to FC Tables, he has played 96 matches and scored 27 goals for Liverpool over three seasons.
Additionally, Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle. However, many reports suggest that to proceed with this potential move, Liverpool may need to make a sale first, likely to balance their financial position and comply with transfer regulations.
