Diaz is a popular figure around Anfield

The Bundesliga club’s sporting director, Max Eberl, has been told Liverpool have no intention of selling the Colombia international and will not entertain any talks over his future.

Díaz, 28, was the subject of similar interest from Barcelona earlier this summer, which Liverpool also dismissed.

The Premier League champions are adamant the forward is not for sale at any price, underlining his importance to Arne Slot’s side following their title-winning campaign.

Since arriving from Porto in 2022, Díaz has established himself as a key figure at Anfield. He scored 22 goals for club and country last season, including 13 in the league, and provided seven assists as Liverpool finished 10 points clear at the top.

Overall for the club, he has scored 41 goals in 148 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool and has won the Premier League, the FA Cup and two League Cups.

Díaz, who has two years remaining on his contract, has also been linked with Manchester City and clubs in Saudi Arabia. He has said that he's very happy in Liverpool, will that be the end of the stiry though?

Fan opinion  | Sell him next summer?

Letting Diaz go at this point would leave Liverpool lacking in their attacking options, especially with both Jota and Nunez potentially leaving the club. With significant summer signings already made for Frimpong, Wirtz, and Kerkez, there is little justification for selling him unless a substantial offer is presented.

Keeping Diaz for one more season helps maintain depth and experience. Even next summer, he will still command a strong transfer fee. He is 28 years old, still in his prime, and another good season could increase his value.

We have dealt with similar contract and transfer situations in the past. It’s important to remain firm with Diaz. He wants to play, performs well when given the opportunity, and fits well within the system. Unless a bid of £75 million comes in, the wisest decision is to keep him on the team for at least one more year.

England suffer friendly defeat against Senegal

England 1 - 3 Senegal We try to pull together some measured reaction and reporting after England lose in Nottingham. It's only a post season friendly that nobody will remember in three months.  Author | Kieran M Stadium | The City Ground England fell to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal claimed a thoroughly deserved win in a low-key friendly at the City Ground. It wasn't a good performance from Tuchel’s team, who were outplayed by confident and composed opponents. Senegal became the first African nation to beat England’s men, and did so with an assured display.  For Tuchel though, it did give him an opportunity to see a different group of players together. He would have learned a lot from this. A closer look at what happened The evening had started brightly for the hosts, who took the lead in the seventh minute when Harry Kane reacted quickest after Edouard Mendy spilled Anthony Gordon’s low effort. It was Kane’s 73rd goal for England. This would be the...

Czech Republic 1 - 3 England Harvey Elliott set England Under-21s on course for a winning start as the reigning champions opened their European Championship defence with a composed victory over the Czech Republic in Slovakia. Author | George B Stadium | MOL Aréna Despite a string of withdrawals in the lead-up to the tournament, head coach Lee Carsley named an adventurous line-up for the Young Lions’ opener. England broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Tino Livramento, a lively presence down the left, saw his cross deflected into the box where captain James McAtee laid it off for Elliott, who finished with a crisp low drive. Livramento was central again for the second, gliding past his marker before delivering a low ball that brushed Jonathan Rowe en route to beating goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czechs responded swiftly through Daniel Fila, who nodded in Vaclav Sejk’s chipped cross just moments later. But England reasserted control and sealed the result 14 minutes from...
