Liverpool have rebuffed an approach from Barcelona to discuss signing Luis Diaz, telling the champions of La Liga he is not for sale.
The 28-year-old Colombia international joined from Porto in January 2022 on a deal that runs until the summer of 2027 and, as things stand, there is little expectation of a fresh agreement.

It has led Diaz to be linked with leaving Anfield and Barcelona contacted their Premier League counterparts on Wednesday about recruiting him.
But Liverpool’s formal reply was unequivocal; the Catalan club and their sporting director Deco were immediately informed that no appetite exists to trade a squad member who head coach Arne Slot is planning with for the 2025-26 season.
Diaz was of interest to Manchester City last summer and also has admirers in Saudi Arabia. Yet the recent pursuit of Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, 30, by Al Hilal helped Liverpool establish Diaz’s market price.
The winger played a key role in bringing a 20th English title to Merseyside and has so far given no indication of wanting to depart. Unless that or Liverpool’s stance changes, the club would be happy to let Diaz see out his final 24 months.
Liverpool’s new-look hierarchy, led by sporting director Richard Hughes and Fenway Sports Group’s chief executive of football Michael Edwards, has sought to address the contract issue — however progress has not materialised.
At Diaz’s age, their current preference would be to maximise his performance value — even if that means exiting as a free agent — unless Liverpool receive bids that enable them to land a replacement of similar or superior quality.

České fotbalistky narazí v říjnové baráži Ligy národů na Rakušanky
Češky obsadily ve skupině B4 kvůli horší bilanci ve vzájemných zápasech druhé místo za Ukrajinou. Rakousko skončilo v „áčku“ třetí a při losování bylo mezi nasazenými týmy, proto bude hrát odvetu doma.České hráčky v samostatné historii porazily Rakušanky jen jednou, dvakrát s nimi remizovaly a třikrát prohrály. Vzájemné skóre je ale vyrovnané (11:11). Naposledy se oba týmy utkaly předloni v dubnu, kdy Rakousko doma v přípravě zvítězilo 2:0.„Rakousko se v roce 2022 představilo na mistrovství Evropy v Anglii, kde postoupilo dokonce do čtvrtfinále. Během turnaje jsem je sledovala a viděla jsem, že se jedná o velmi dobře organizovaný tým, proti kterému se nikomu nehrálo vůbec dobře. My teď samozřejmě začneme intenzivně sbírat informace o tomto soupeři a brzy budeme znát jeho aktuální sílu,“ řekl Klimková pro web Fotbalové asociace ČR.Je ráda, že Češkám los přisoudil sousední zemi. „Z tohoto pohledu je samozřejmě dobře, že hrajeme proti Rakousku a odpadne nám náročné cestování.
