The Colombian footballer, under contract with Liverpool until 2027, has recently been associated with a potential departure from the club. Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly considering him as a replacement for the departing Kylian Mbappe.

Now, his father, Mane Diaz, has suggested that the Liverpool star might contemplate a move to La Liga in the future. Real Madrid, who have previously been linked with Diaz, may be enticed to renew their interest following his father’s remarks.

In an interview with Cadena SER, Mane Diaz remarked, “When he left Porto I was not aware that there was anything positive with Madrid clubs. I heard things, but I never knew if there was anything else. With Liverpool everything was more precise.”

“The directive was more precise for Luis to arrive there. It was hoped that he could come here [to Spain]. Radamel Falaco had already been there, James Rodriguez too… In the end it didn’t happen, but don’t give up hope yet. He is playing and the clubs are active.”

The 27-year-old is set to rejoin Anfield after a standout performance for Colombia during the international break. He’ll next be in action for Jurgen Klopp’s team on Sunday, facing Brighton in a crucial Premier League encounter.
