Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool will have a huge impact on supporters but also his now former players too, with some no doubt questioning their long term future with the club.

One such man who may be thinking of leaving Anfield is Luis Diaz and Mundo Deportivo have reported (translated): ‘Barça is playing with the player’s desire to wear Barça, recently expressed by his father…

‘The departure of the coach who bet heavily on him, Jürgen Klopp, also weighs on him so that he is not completely comfortable.’

The same story suggests that the Spanish outfit would have to sell Raphinha in order to be able to afford the services of our No.7 but that Barcelona are willing and able to do this.

It’s no secret that the Colombian’s father has told the world of their desire to see the attacker representing the La Liga club and they are seemingly always a team that turn heads, particularly for South American players.

Allowing Arne Slot, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards some sizeable funds to add to the forward line could be beneficial too, as the trio look to stamp their mark on the Reds.

The 27-year-old was arguably the most consistent member of the forward line last season and certainly helped us achieve the success we did but at the same time, many may be happy to see him depart for the right offer.

It’s probably seen as a win-win and with there being no push for us to sell the former Porto man, it may also drive up the price if the bidders are serious about clinching his signature.

  1. Ah we can’t lose Lucho, no chance, probably our best player last year. And if not,definitely our best player in many games, he can turn on a six pence and his energy is so important for us. And for him, going to Barça would be going backwards.. horrible fans, and he has the best fans in the World at Anfield Who love him ! …It’s a win win if he stays, but a lose lose if he goes ….Diaz stays thats final 😌

    1. It won’t be a loss for a player who doesn’t want to be at the club. A better goal scoring replacement can be found

  2. This is not new news, Back in December 2023 just before Kloppo made his announcement there was already rumours that Diaz’s family (Father mainly) wasn’t happy living in the UK and wants to be somewhere warmer, so Barça is his choice, well as much as I wouldn’t want to see him go, if Barça (who can’t anyway) muster up £70-90m then come get him, if not then that’s that story put to bed and we move on…. next click bait at the ready lol 😂

  3. After everything Liverpool football club, did for his father after he was released from kidnap, he then stated, he wanted Luis to leave Liverpool to go into La Liga…..what an ungrateful scroat!

    Think back Diaz Senior on how Liverpool wiped the floor with Barcelona, Messi too…….4 — 0.
    I can see your son going backwards in his career!

  4. It’s an excuse. He’s been looking to move for a while.

    He won’t be missed on the pitch. Amazingly skilful with no end product.

  5. He won’t be missed. Despite his ability to dribble, it all falls flat because of poor decision making, aimless runs and a very poor return in front of goal.
