Luis Diaz confirms 'negotiations' with Liverpool over summer transfer exit in bombshell statement as Barcelona & Bayern Munich circle for Colombian winger

Liverpool star Diaz has admitted he is surveying his options amid interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and the Saudi Pro League. The Colombia international was a key figure as the Reds claimed the Premier League title, contributing 13 goals and five assists, and Arne Slot's side look to have little desire to let him leave this summer with two years left to run on his current contract.

Liverpool are thought to have rejected an enquiry from Barcelona over a deal for Diaz, while Bayern have made little progress in agreeing personal terms with the former Porto winger. The 28-year-old has now declared he is weighing up his options but stopped short of committing his future to the Merseyside giants.

He told Colombian influencer Mauricio Gomez: "We’re there, negotiating. We’ll see what can be achieved, for us and for the club. We’ll try to do our best and make the best decision."

Pressed on specific interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, he added: "We’re in the process of negotiations, talking with the club, with Liverpool, with everyone who’s approaching us. But I’m very calm where I am, you know, very happy. Trying to make the best decision now."

Diaz has reportedly asked for a compensation package from Barcelona if he were to make the move to Catalonia, fearing the La Liga giants may not be able to initially register him due to their financial troubles.

The results of Diaz's negotiations will be fascinating. The forward is in high demand following his best season in England so far and is thought to want to play for Barcelona before he retires, but so far Liverpool have found no reason to entertain offers from Spain, Germany or Saudi Arabia. For now, he will soon return to England for pre-season training.
