Arne Slot is Keen to Tie Down Liverpool Player to a New Contract – Report

Liverpool’s new chapter under head coach Arne Slot has started on a strong note.

The team, led by the Dutchman, remains unbeaten as they head into the international break, highlighted by a 3-0 triumph over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Liverpool’s dominance over Erik ten Hag’s squad was evident, with several opportunities that could have increased the scoreline beyond three goals against Andre Onana. Slot’s early impact has left the club’s fans highly satisfied.

Though an early goal by Trent Alexander-Arnold was disallowed for offside, Luis Diaz found the back of the net twice in quick succession before halftime, and Mohamed Salah sealed the victory in the 56th minute.

Arne Slot Ready to Tie Down Luis Diaz to a New Contract

Luis Díaz’s representatives are reportedly pushing for negotiations over a new contract that would make him one of the top earners at Anfield, according to a report from TBR Football.

Despite having three years remaining on his current deal, the Colombian winger has been seeking changes to his contract since the beginning of the year.

Liverpool initially secured Díaz’s services from Porto in a transfer worth £50 million, including add-ons, as reported by the BBC.

During the recent transfer window, Díaz attracted attention from major clubs like Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Liverpool were determined to keep hold of the 27-year-old, who has made an excellent start to the new season.

While Luis Díaz has demonstrated his potential to be crucial to Liverpool’s success under Slot, the club are likely to prioritise new contracts for players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk, who are all entering the final year of their contracts.

The report from TBR Football also indicates that Slot is a strong admirer of Díaz and supports the idea of rewarding him with a new contract.

Díaz has already contributed to four goals this season and appears to have solidified his place in Slot’s starting lineup.
