Speculation surrounding Liverpool striker Luis Diaz refuses to pass away and new reports say he is “definitely” a target for PSG.
Since joining Liverpool in 2022, Diaz has temporarily earned a reputation. The speedy winger has scored 22 goals and provided thirteen assists in 86 appearances for the Reds so far.
Thanks to his remarkable form, many of Europe’s more sensible groups have sniffed out the 27-year-old. In fact, his father fueled rumors of his departure in a recent interview he gave to SER Deportivos.
During the interview, Mane Díaz announced that his and his son’s dream had been to seal their signing for Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid at some point.
However, Fabrizio Romano was quick to end the talks by insisting that Diaz is satisfied at Liverpool and that there is nothing concrete about ties with Spain.
“Some enthusiasts would probably have raised an eyebrow after comments from Luis Diaz’s father hinted that he and his son would like to see him play for a big Spanish club,” Romano explained.
“But I wouldn’t consider Luis’ father’s words as something negative. He would simply answer questions about his son’s Spanish clubs in the past and keep the functions open for the future, that’s a normal thing.
“Diaz is satisfied at Liverpool, super committed and he shows it in each and every game. I honestly don’t see much chaos in those words.

Although a move to Real Madrid doesn’t seem to be in the cards for Diaz at the moment, it’s possible that a move to PSG is still in the works.
It’s no secret that the French giants will be looking for a replacement for outgoing Kylian Mbappe and, according to journalist Jonathan Johnson, Diaz is “definitely” on PSG’s short list.
“There has been speculation recently that Luis Diaz is a target for Paris Saint-Germain and I perceive that the Liverpool striker is definitely a player that PSG are part of a wider list of potential players to sign this summer,” Johnson told Caught Offside. .
“Once they have the freedom to move around without Kylian Mbappe off their books, then they will pay their wage bill and we will see how they replace Mbappe in attack. “
In all competitions this season, Daiz has scored 16 goals with 11 goals and assists.
While Diaz is shortlisted via PSG, Johnson makes it clear that the Liverpool star is not a “priority target” for the French giants at this stage.
“My understanding at the moment is that Diaz is not necessarily a priority target, however, they are preparing for the option of hunting down a player like him; He’s not the only player at that position or profile they’re hunting. out on.
“It can be argued, as a Liverpool player, that Diaz is one of the most prominent names on PSG’s roster, but if I’m honest, I wouldn’t be sure this position is a top priority for PSG this summer. “.
“They’ll take a look at other positions, especially in central defense and defensive midfield. “
