Luis Daiz’s father has spoken out on the reports linking the Liverpool forward with Barcelona.
Despite the turmoil that the 26-year-old was subjected to in his personal life, Diaz still managed to salvage a point for Liverpool with a late goal against Luton earlier this month, upon his return to the team. His two goals for Colombia further highlight why the former Porto forward has become a key part of Jurgen Klopp’s side.
His performances have led to shock claims that Barcelona could be interested in signing the Liverpool forward. Diaz’s father was asked about his son possibly moving to Barcelona in the future and admitted that he has always been a supporter of the Catalan giants.
“[The] truth is that I know very little about Barcelona at the moment,” Diaz Snr. told Win Sports, as reported by Sport Witness. “It is true that Luis is a loyal Barcelona fan and it would be his dream to go there. So far I would like to thank Porto and Liverpool for the way they welcomed him and received him.”
Luis Diaz has highlighted the support from Liverpool team-mate Alisson following his inspirational performance for Colombia against Brazil.
Alisson Becker was in goal for Brazil after Ederson pulled out with an ankle injury. Despite the defeat, the shot-stopper embraced Diaz as the cameras caught the exchange between the Reds teammates.
“Alisson very happy, he is a great person. He accompanied me in the last 15 days, he is a great human being and he helped me get through this difficult moment,” Diaz said speaking after their win.
“Thank God, we have gone through hard times, but like life, we deserved this victory because we have made a great process , not only us players, but also the coach. Dedicate the victory to the people.”
