Neither for Barcelona, nor for Manchester. Luis Díaz is staying at Liverpool and will make his debut on August 17 against Ipswich Town in the 2024-2025 Premier League, in the new era that coach Arne Slot will begin.
The player will begin his fourth season with the English ‘Reds’ and will be under the direction of the Dutchman, who got the best impression of the Guajiro after his double against Sevilla in the last friendly preparation.
“There is a lot of speculation constantly in this country. His future is with us because I really like what I have seen. He has had a big impact on Liverpool and I hope he continues to have that this season,” explained Slot, who confirmed his continuity one day before the start of the league season.
“We are trying to strengthen the squad but it is not easy to find players who fit in directly,” he added.
Díaz will be a starter in the trident with Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez against Ipswich Town, who will be his first opponent. Liverpool will play away while waiting for reinforcements. For now, they maintain the base inherited from Jürgen Klopp.
The match will be this Saturday, August 17 at 6:30 am (Colombian time) at the Portman Road stadium.
