Liverpool have not publicly placed Luis Díaz on the market, but they’ve made their position crystal clear to anyone watching closely. According to Cadena SER’s Anton Meana, there is a gentleman’s agreement between the Colombian star and the club: any offer exceeding €80 million will be enough to trigger his exit—no drama, no drawn-out negotiations, just a quiet goodbye from Anfield.
This isn’t a formal release clause like Nico Williams has at Athletic Club. It’s not even a standard sell-on trigger. It’s a handshake agreement. But make no mistake—Liverpool are not bluffing. That number means something.
Barcelona know it, too. They’ve made Díaz their number one target following Nico Williams’ renewal, and Hansi Flick, Joan Laporta, and Deco are all in sync on his name. But the Catalans are operating with limited cash flow and will try to negotiate down the €80 million figure over the coming weeks, per Cadena SER.
From Liverpool’s side, there’s zero urgency to sell. Díaz has been one of the club’s most consistent performers and remains a key attacking option under Arne Slot. He offers more than just goals—his two-way play, pressing intelligence, and elite mentality make him vital to the system. And while the Reds would respect their agreement with the player, they’re equally clear: no deal happens unless the number is met.
Bayern Munich have already made a move. Their first proposal fell short. Liverpool didn’t even entertain it. The club’s stance is so firm that Bayern have since cooled their interest, knowing the price isn’t coming down.
Meanwhile, Barça have floated the idea of including players or bonuses, but Liverpool are holding their line. Why? Because they don’t have to sell. Díaz is under contract until 2027. The club knows his market value—and they know that if Barcelona don’t pay, someone else eventually will.
From a financial standpoint, Liverpool are playing this smart. . With clubs like PSG and Saudi sides monitoring the winger landscape, Liverpool can afford to be patient.
Unless a straight €80 million bid lands on their table, Luis Díaz is staying at Anfield. And Liverpool are just fine with that.
