Luis Diaz has revealed his desire, stemming back to his childhood, to eventually play for one of Spain’s biggest clubs, something we didn’t see coming. However, he said he will not be leaving Liverpool in a hurry. The Colombia international has been an important member of Jurgen Klopp’s side since his January move from Porto but has not featured for Liverpool since he sustained a knee injury against Arsenal on October 9.
Diaz has a long-term contract with the Reds, but has now revealed that he would like to try his luck in La Liga if the opportunity comes along.
“I would like to play for a Spanish club that has always attracted my family’s attention, but it is more of a childish dream,” Diaz said during an interview with Colombian magazine SoHo.
However, he was quick to add that currently, his focus is completely on Liverpool. “Now I only think about lifting trophies and making history with Liverpool, which is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I am very grateful for the opportunity they have given me,” he said.
Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, recently revealed that the Catalan club was also in pursuit of the winger in January, but ended up missing out due to their economic situation. The La Liga giants ended up signing Raphinha from Leeds in the last transfer window and managed to tie Ousmane Dembele down to a new contract. the team however is still in need of reinforcement after failing to qualify for the champions league group stages.
Luiz Diaz who is currently missing the World cup in Qatar. is expected to heal up from injury and be among the Liverpool squad for the champions league knockout stages.
