Liverpool star 'decides next club' amid uncertainty over contract talks

One Liverpool star has reportedly decided on his next club amid uncertainties over his Anfield contract.

The Reds have enjoyed a stellar start to life under new boss Arne Slot, who took over from the legendary Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Currently, Liverpool sit two points clear at the top of the Premier League and also have a three-point lead at the top of the UEFA Champions League standings.

However, despite their positive start to the season, there are major concerns over the future of some of their most important players.

The likes of Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold will walk away from the club for free next summer if a new deal cannot be agreed.

Meanwhile, there have also been reports surrounding the future of winger Luis Diaz.

As reported by Spanish news outlet Antena 2, Liverpool are facing some 'obstacles' in their bid to extend Diaz's contract, which will run out in 2027.

As a result, it has been suggested that the Colombian would be interested in a move to Barcelona if he fails to renew at Anfield.

However, it has been said that Diaz is not pushing for a move, but is 'positioning himself' to join Barcelona if he decides to leave Liverpool.

Aside from Barcelona, it is believed that French champions Paris Saint Germain and Italian giants AC Milan are also keeping a keen eye on the situation.

So far this season, Diaz has been used in a range of different positions by Slot, including as a centre-forward.

Speaking after Liverpool's 2-1 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup, Slot spoke about how Diaz's role could change given the fact that Diogo Jota is close to full fitness.

The Dutchman said: "People said a week ago that Darwin Nunez's numbers aren't high enough but he has now got a goal and an assist.

"Lucho can play in that position. He has done very well for us in that role. He has played more games as a winger but we know he can do it. Darwin and Jota are there but Lucho is definitely an option."

Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon when they take on Tottenham Hotspur.
