'Really happy to be here' - Luis Diaz quashes Liverpool departure rumours amid links to Barcelona and Al-Nassr to replace Cristiano Ronaldo

After playing an important role in Liverpool's Premier League-winning campaign in the 2024-25 season, Diaz is now attracting interest from Saudi Pro League giants Al-Nassr. The Riyadh club has started to look for attacking options in case Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the club and have identified the Colombian as a replacement for their veteran star.

The Reds forward is also linked with a move to Barcelona, who are looking to sign a new attacker, despite their financial constraints. However, in a recent interview with the Liverpool website, Diaz quashed all exit rumours as he claimed he is happy at the Merseyside club.

The 28-year-old said: "I feel I’m going through a really good period. I’m really happy to be here, to be part of this great institution, this great club and to have great team-mates around me. From the moment I arrived, I felt great pride. I always tried to work hard for this, and to see that nowadays things are working out for me fills me with pride and I’m really happy because that’s what I work for.

"[But] we are nobodies without our team-mates. We are a team. The forwards and wingers always try to help with goals and assists, and right now I’ve achieved good numbers to back that up. It’s about playing and then playing well, supporting the team in the way I play and enjoying it, like always."

The newly crowned English champions have already started working on their squad rebuilding plans. They have signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen and are also closing on signing the German club's star midfielder, Florian Wirtz.
