Could Mohammed Salah’s new Liverpool deal affect others in attacking line?

Local TV Sport

Luis Diaz is attracting serious interest from Barcelona, though the Spanish side may struggle to meet Liverpool’s £64m valuation. Saudi Pro League clubs are also circling with lucrative offers. Diaz remains under contract until 2027, but amid Liverpool’s squad reshuffle, his future could hinge on personal ambitions and incoming bids.

00:00Fresh reports that Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are close to signing new contracts with

00:06Liverpool have sparked widespread discussion. Securing the futures of two of the club's most

00:13important players is a major statement, but it could signal the departure of others in the squad.

00:19Both van Dijk and Salah are reportedly in talks over two-year extensions.

00:24Salah, Liverpool's talismanic forward, has once again delivered on the big stage,

00:29with over 30 goals and 20 assists in all competitions this season.

00:33Keeping him at Anfield would not only stabilise the front line,

00:37but could also see him reach significant career milestones in a red shirt.

00:43However, as Liverpool look to refresh the squad, players such as Darwin Nunes,

00:47Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz are the subject of growing transfer speculation.

00:52Diaz in particular is drawing strong interest from Barcelona.

00:55The Spanish giants are long-term admirers, but are unlikely to meet Liverpool's reported £64 million asking price.

01:04The emergence of Saudi Pro League interest has further complicated matters for Barcelona.

01:10Clubs such as Al Ali and Al Nasser are said to be preparing big money offers that the Catalans cannot match.

01:17While Barcelona remain hopeful Diaz could push for the move himself,

01:21they accept it may not be realistic financially.

01:24This isn't the first time Diaz has been linked with a move away from Merseyside.

01:29Following Jürgen Klopp's announced departure,

01:32rumours intensified with Diaz's father even suggesting

01:35that Barcelona would be a dream destination for his son.

01:39Lucio did really well and it was, even for me,

01:44maybe a bit of a surprise to see how well he did.

01:46Of course, I played him there for a reason.

01:48I expected him to do good, but that he did so well, that was even a surprise for me.

01:54With Diaz under contract until 2027, Liverpool are under no pressure to sell,

01:59but next summer could be decisive if serious offers arrive.

02:03The decision may ultimately depend on Diaz's personal ambitions

02:07and whether Liverpool are willing to cash in as they continue reshaping the squad under Arnie Schlott.

02:13He's still on the other side of the door and the other side of the door.

02:17So that he's passing through, so that he does anything together.

02:18So that's really what's going on in his end.

02:21To be looking forward to the first time,

02:22the decision's will be added to the side of the table,

02:25as you can see how well that will help him to get out of the bottom of the aí.

02:27So, I'm going to open the next day to the side of the circle.

02:29So that's really the tragic hitter.

02:30The situation may be a little bit.

02:32So that's really what I do.

02:33I'm going to get into the side of this.

02:35So that's really what I do,

02:35and I'm going to put it on the side of this because well.
