Of all Liverpool's five forwards, it is the future of Luis Diaz that is perhaps most uncertain at this stage
For a forward department that has shared 84 goals between them this season, Liverpool's five-man attack has found itself in the eye of the storm of late.
Mohamed Salah's touchline spat with Klopp has led to plenty of debate about a player who has endured a tough few months and will turn 32 in June, while Cody Gakpo has scored just one in over two Premier League months. For all the debates around the aforementioned quartet, however, it is maybe Luis Diaz whose future at Anfield is most opaque. It's generally been agreed that the Colombia international has been one of a few whose levels have not dipped in recent weeks and the electric winger's all-action efforts have earned plenty of credit of late.
His father, Luis Manuel Diaz, has made little secret of his desire to see his son pitch up at Barcelona at some stage in his career, with soundbites given to media in his Colombian homeland during international breaks. Speaking in March, Diaz's father said: "There was never anything serious with Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. Liverpool were always more determined and concrete to sign Luis. We haven’t lost our hope yet…Luis is playing well and Spanish clubs are always active in the market."
Now with just two years left on his contract at Liverpool, it will be interesting to see what the new regime does where the 27-year-old is concerned. With Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold all heading down to the final year of their own respective terms, Diaz will likely find himself towards the back of a lengthy queue when it comes to talks over a renewal.
