If his time at Liverpool is an audition for Real Madrid then he's blown it.
Wouldn't shed any tears if he left in the summer.
You'd think after the support the club has given to his family they'd be a bit more grateful then go begging to the media for another club to sign him.

And Atlético  ;D

It's worth pointing out that the biggest source for this is Tap-In c*nt Romano, and there's suggestions the quote is, shall we say, heavily edited.

To be fair to his dad, he looks freezing most of the time when at Anfield.

Since the incident his dad has been everywhere. Lots of interviews, lots of videos of him dancing, camera pans to him during every game. Has he become a bit of a celeb in Colombia?

Honestly, if we got a big offer for Diaz in the summer I wouldn’t be against selling him. Having said that, I can’t see Madrid wanting him, or Barcelona being able to afford him.

This isn’t the first time his dad has came out about him moving to Spain. Wouldnt be surprised if it’s more of a culture/language thing for the full family. Like others have said he’s more than replaceable so wouldn’t lose any sleep either way.

Just stop buying players who view us as a stepping stone to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Mind you Luis Diaz wouldn't start at Real and Barcelona have been a mess for the better part of half a decade now so I'm not sure why anyone would want to go there.

Not really thinking about it, ideally he'll stay until Trey is ready, confident that he'll end up on the left. I think that he needs to say something soon, we're no fucking stepping stone & if he doesn't understand that, it's best for him to move on.

That being said, I don't speak Spanish, have not seen anything &

It’s his dad. Probably answering a question about moving to a Spanish club. I imagine the Spanish clubs are bigger news in his homeland given they speak Spanish and the history of Latin American players in La Liga. If Luis had said something, I’d say fair enough, but his dad? It’s not like he’s done a Konchesky’s ma is it?

He gives his all on the pitch and is fighting his arse off to win us trophies. That’s all I’m arsed about, not daft quotes from his dad that we have no clue how reliable or meaningful they are.

Still, I was interested in who people would want to replace him with, it’s not like there’s a new Mane sat waiting for us in mid table is it, unless people want Mitoma?

Pretty much rules out all South American players. Depending on the era either Real or Barca will always be top of the food chain for them.
Loving Everton's business this summer. Here's an early call - they finish above Liverpool this season.

And his Dad is definitely loving supporting us at the minute.

I think Luis is a gem and isn’t one we would want to lose. Klopp always is really positive about his attitude so it doesn‘t feel (to me) like it’s likely he needs replaced. It would need a Musiala level if it came to it.

South American players are such a headache. Makes one appreciate Bobby Firmino even more for his selfless work both on the pitch and never giving us reason to think he'd leave in his prime. Wish more footballers were like him.

I like all 3 of them but they'd all cost a fortune. Doubt we can afford to go after any of them, assuming they are open to coming here.

We literally built the team by selling one that did
The Spanish clubs habitually get fixated on players and over pay for them .. seems like if we buy players at 23ish and have them til 26/27/28 then sell them for a profit after having their prime years then that's going to work out pretty well for us

Not sure it’s blasé, probably more that in the past it’s been a vital player for us whereas Luis, quality as he is, probably isn’t first choice if everyone is fit so it’s a little easier to stomach

Diaz has started 31 games this season and has been a sub 13 times.

Jota has started 18 games this season and has been a sub 11 times.

For me the pecking order is Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Jota and Gakpo.

:thumbup

It’s not really that deep. Xabi then Masch then Suarez then Coutinho. Our best, or close to, players at the time they left. Luis isn’t, really. Certainly hasn’t got left wing nailed down as undisputed first choice, so it’s not as stark as Suarez pissing off, for example.
