'Makes no sense to sell' or is a Barcelona switch 'right' for Diaz?published at 18:31 22 May


Amid reports linking Luis Diaz with a move to Barcelona, we asked you how you would feel if the Columbia international moved on and whether it makes sense for Liverpool to sell him now?
Here are some of your comments:
Mike: There is a reason why Barcelona are interested - he's a good player! He is aware of the interest, but he has also made it clear he wants to stay. It makes no sense to sell him in my opinion. Liverpool are trying to build a squad of players with sufficient quality to compete on all fronts. For me, Diaz should be part of that.
Michael: Let's not do an Arsenal and sell our forwards when we don't need to. Diaz has been dangerous, hard-working, and able to play in multiple roles. He is a proven player. We always want forwards to be more clinical but 18 goals and assists in the league is a good return. With new gs and the confidence of a title under his belt, I'll bet on more next year. Keep him and see how the team works next season.
Neil: He is a massive impact player who gives 100% for the entire game. Loved by the fans, with the ultimate privilege of having his own song. We have to keep him for at least one more season, then offer a new contract or sell.
Seren: Everything points to it being the correct decision for Liverpool, but I just can't bear to see him leave. Two years left on the contract, just on the back end of a Premier League-winning season, and supposedly is or should be in his prime. The amount of money he could fetch with those conditions is outlandish. However, from every high-intensity press to nutmegging right-backs in the Merseyside derby, this guy embodies never giving up. He's been through too much, especially in Barranquilla and the struggles he faced there. He deserves to go wherever he wants, but I would want him to stay.
Steve: If the money's good (£45m plus) and he wants to go, cash in and put the money in the kitty for a centre forward and/or younger prospect. We have Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah so Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are in the window too.
Harry: Luis Diaz has been a very good player for Liverpool. But, just that. Very good, not world class which every person playing for Liverpool needs to be. I can't see him getting to a world-class status so, although I'll be sorry to see him go, going to Barcelona is the right move. Should hopefully be around £50-80m as he is still quite young.
Andy: I'd be gutted if Diaz was lured to Barca and astonished that the club would permit such a move. He's a vital part of the squad, always energetic, gets things moving and comes up with vital goals. The whole thing is clickbait.
Henry: Diaz is a quality player, whose quick pace and ball skills make him a full-back's nightmare. Both his and Gakpo's stats are much the same but if we could get at least £50m for him, it would be a hard offer to turn down. I would rather he stayed but we all know that most South Americans dream of playing for either Real Madrid or Barcelona. I expect a few players to be moving on this summer so we'll have to wait and see.
