One of the priorities for sporting director Deco and Hansi Flick this summer will be reinforcing the left side of the attack. Names such as Nico Williams and Marcus Rashford have been mentioned, but Diaz has emerged as the club's top priority. With Liverpool having to make an outlay of more than €130 million (£110m/$148m) for Florian Wirtz, they hope that the €85m (£72m/$97m) price tag on Diaz will compensate in part for the German's transfer. While the Reds have tried to initiate renewal talks with the players’ entourage, the Colombian has blocked any approach from the club as well as the lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia.
