Ed002,
Are you aware of any genuine interest in Diaz or a possibility that LFC may sell?
Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - His agent already has one player in the Saudi league and has been offering another high profile player he has - so he may well be looking at Diaz as well given Liverpool are wellk stocked in the position. Al-Hillal may offer an option.}

Only on BBC Gossip but 50m Euros supposedly tabled.

Would we really send him on his way though.

Oh God, I really hope not.
Thanks ED!

You know what, I'd possibly consider selling Diaz, but it'd have to be a bigger fee than that given what we've seen other players move to Saudi for. Don't get me wrong, I like him as a player but his goal threat isn't there for me (or hasn't been) and we're pretty well stocked in forward positions.

No criticism of him at all, he's more of a winger than we've seen on the left in recent years - but if his sale contributes to another quality DM and CB then that's where we are most in need.

But if we decide to keep him then that's also fine!

I'm far from ITK but i would be absolutely baffled if we sanctioned the sale of our first choice LW 3 weeks after giving him the No.7 shirt, for more or less what we paid for him.

He's our best attacker bar Salah and isn't even close to his potential. Easy 20/ 25 ga this season.

Agree @MK.

He is a winger. I don't think wingers usually score much, apart from Salah and maybe a few others. So in my opinion, it's not fair to judge him on how many goals he has scored.

I would file this rumour under the ‘never going to happen’ section as Diaz is going to be our first choice LW, he is 26 and the few of €50m is so below market rate when you compare him to some of the transfer fees being spent. That’s before you consider the efforts made by Liverpool to sign Diaz and his impact on the squad! I mean there is clickbait and then there are just plain stupid reports…Diaz does not strike me as a player who wants to go from playing at elite level to perhaps the lowest rung of the ladder before he evens hits his prime! Pure nonsense.

{Ed002's Note - Why are you mentioning a fee?}

The point being Haizan that the player in his position previously was more of a goal threat even though he was, effectively, a winger.

Pearce this morning: Liverpool have no intention of selling Luis Diaz and there’s been zero indication of the player wanting to leave.

Didn't need Pearce to say any of that, IMO. We can all see on the face of it that this ain't happening.

Just mentioning what he said Oli, if you wish to cancel James that's your choice of course.

Coming here after few years with a new username after loosing the old one. First, thank you for good job you all doing.
Getting back to topic, why do you think we are well stocked in that position? Mane, Bobby and Origi left. we had them replaced with Diaz, Nunez and Gakpo. they all play in different positions not just on the left side and Diaz is usually preferred on the left when he is fit. He also plays on the right side which will be crucial when Salah is gone for AFCON.

Great point, MKS.

I know this might not be a popular opinion, but I'm open to a sale if we receive a fantastic deal, and £50 million isn't considered one. I believe a figure around £75 million or above would pique our interest. I don't agree with those who claim he's worth £100 million or £150 million.

However, I want to emphasize that I'll only consider selling him if we can secure a replacement like Kvaratskhelia or Rafael Leão.

Let's keep our options open and see how things unfold.

Mikliver, you're forgetting Jota who has a knack for scoring goals even if his all round play isn't as good as some of our other forwards.

No chance Diaz goes - out best attacker last year before his injury. Would only consider 100m. Much rather sell Jota for 40/ 50 million.

I agree on Mane was a goal threat back then, johnny. But again, I think Mane was a different type of player. He was a winger, but he was a central attacker at times as well. But it's ok johnny, my point was, I really hope Diaz stays.
