Liverpool star rejects new contract in a stunning reversal

In a major twist ahead of the summer transfer window, a key Liverpool player has turned down a new contract offer, despite earlier signs pointing toward an extension. The shock move could force the club into unexpected decisions as rivals begin to circle.

Liverpool have made some major moves since the end of last season and are set to build a squad that could stun the Premier League and Europe next season.

Florian Wirtz is set to join for a British record fee, and Milos Kerkez is confirmed to move to Anfield after it emerged that it is as good as a done deal.

However, the Merseyside giants are also keen to keep their top players, and it has emerged that Liverpool star has rejected an offer of a new contract from the club.

Luis Diaz rejects new contract offer from Liverpool

Liverpool have already rejected Barcelona’s approach for him, but the Catalan giants are still pushing to sign the winger this summer.

Diaz has two years left on his contract, but the winger is keen to secure a dream move to the Nou Camp in the ongoing transfer window.

In a fresh twist to this saga, according to Catalan daily Sport via CaughtOffSide, the winger has rejected an offer of a new deal from the Merseyside giants.

Liverpool’s offer would have given him a substantial increase on his current terms and was a just reward for his performances last season.

However, it appears the winger is willing to push his way out of Liverpool this summer, and rejecting the offer of a new deal is part of those efforts.

Diaz was the second most effective forward in the Liverpool squad last season after Mo Salah, and scored 17 goals in all competitions.

There are suggestions the Reds could sell if they receive an offer in the region of £51m this summer.
