Very calm, I&#8217;m happy and enjoying the Premier League.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Diaz joined the Reds from Porto for \u00a350million plus add-ons in 2022, and the forward has gone onto net 41 times in 146 times for Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Often deployed on the left wing under former manager Jurgen Klopp, Diaz had been employed in a more central role often under Arne Slot, with Cody Gakpo preferred on the left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This season, he has netted 17 times in all competitions, including 13 times in his sides&#8217; Premier League title-winning campaign. His 17 efforts make him the Reds&#8217; third top scorer this season, behind only Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the past, he has been linked with the likes of Barcelona, but has not appeared to squash any talks of an imminent move as he looks to open contract negotiations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DailyMailSport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        Liverpool star confirms new contract talks are imminent as he expresses desire to join Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk in extending stay with the Reds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Salah and van Dijk both penned new deals with the Reds earlier on this season The star still&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[161,748,25911,92,393,94,4884,179,8902,1128,544,93,100,8935,16,15,1465],"class_list":{"0":"post-96942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-colombia","11":"tag-dailymail","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-liverpool","16":"tag-luis-diaz","17":"tag-mohamed-salah","18":"tag-real-madrid","19":"tag-sport","20":"tag-transfer-news","21":"tag-trent-alexander-arnold","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-virgil-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114498267074740645","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
