The outlet claims that ‘several Spanish clubs are interested in the Colombian striker’, who joined Anfield from Porto in a £50m transfer in 2022.
Diaz has made 35 appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring ten goals and providing five assists.

Mail Sport’s Chris Sutton recently called on Salah, whose contract expires in 2025, to provide clarity to Liverpool fans and end speculation about his future by saying whether he will stay or leave.

Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara are both out of contract this summer, while the contracts of Virgil van Dijk, Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold also expire in 2025.
Andy Robertson has also emerged as a transfer target for Bayern Munich in recent days, with his contract with the club set to expire in 2026.
