Luis Diaz ‘really happy’ after receiving news of his father’s release<\/h3>\n

Liverpool have already made it clear that Luis Diaz is not for sale amid links to Barcelona. Diaz’s father\u00a0Luis Manuel Diaz drummed up speculation when discussing the prospect of a move to Spain shortly after being released by his kidnappers.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a recent interview with Colombian television programme Noticias RCN, he admitted that it is his son’s “dream” to play for Barcelona having supported the club since he was a child. “The truth is, at this moment I know very little about Barcelona,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It is true that Luis [Diaz] is a faithful follower of Barcelona and it would be his dream to get there. Until now, I would like to thank Porto and Liverpool for the way in which they welcomed him and received him.<\/p>\n

“Luis is an easy player to win over because of his way of being, his humility, his work, he is a very disciplined player, thank God. There would be no problem if Luis came to Barcelona because it is an elite team and is among the best in the world.”<\/p>\n

However, the Reds are not open to letting the 26-year-old go. During the summer transfer window, they turned down a bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal said to be worth around \u00a343.3m and Barca are expected to receive a similar response if they come calling.<\/p>\n

Diaz’s contract at Anfield runs until 2027 while Liverpool reportedly value their star winger much higher than the money Al-Hilal put on the table for him before the start of this season.<\/p>\n
