Chelsea Are Interested In This Liverpool Attacker: Worthy Move? | OneFootball

Fichajes has reported that Chelsea are very interested in signing Luis Diaz from Liverpool in the upcoming summer transfer window. Enzo Maresca is a very big fan of the Liverpool attacker, and they are ready to compete with FC Barcelona for his services, who are also said to be interested in the Colombian.

Chelsea want to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool

Diaz has shown his class since joining Liverpool in the summer transfer window of 2022. He has been influential in deciding games for the Merseyside club. Diaz has scored 9 goals in 25 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.5. Moreover, Diaz’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 11 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.62 per 90 minutes. His non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.49.

Chelsea have quite a number of forwards, but they still want to sign the 28-year-old. Diaz is electric on the wing, a proper game-changer with flair to spare. His pace is blistering; he leaves defenders grasping at air, and his dribbling is tight, weaving through tight spaces like it’s nothing.

Diaz has a knack for cutting inside and unleashing fierce shots, often catching keepers off guard. Beyond the flash, his work rate is immense; he tracks back and presses with real hunger. At 28, he’s hitting his prime and has raw talent with sharper decision-making. Diaz brings chaos and heart to the attack: unpredictable, relentless, and the kind of player fans adore watching week in, week out. This is the exact reason why Chelsea are so interested in him.

Will the Reds let him leave?

Liverpool are looking for a proper replacement for Mohamed Salah, given that he is set to leave the club this summer and has not yet signed a new contract. Therefore, the Reds might be ready to cash in on Diaz for a good price to buy a good replacement for the Egyptian.

However, the Blues will definitely face competition from Barcelona given that they are also linked to the player in the last few transfer windows. Chelsea would, however, provide Diaz with the chance to play in the Premier League and will certainly offer more wages than Barcelona. It remains to be seen if the move goes through or not.
