Díaz is second behind Salah in Premier League goals and tied with Cody Gakpo for goals in all competitions this season, with 12.

The Liverpool winger earns around £55,000 per week, which is well below the salaries of some of his peers at the club.

Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo reported that Díaz refused Liverpool’s offer to extend his contract because it did not reflect the value he brings to the team.

Díaz’s contract expires in 2027. If Liverpool do not want another free transfer saga like the one they are experiencing with Alexander-Arnold, Salah, and van Dijk, they will have to sort the Colombian’s contract out in the near future.
