Liverpool is keen to secure Diaz's long-term future, but there are also other clubs interested in him. Barcelona and several Saudi Pro League teams are keeping an eye on the situation at Anfield. The club would prefer to avoid long and complicated contract negotiations.
These talks come after Liverpool's previous experiences with Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who both had drawn-out contract negotiations. The club hopes to have a smoother process with Diaz.
