Everything you need to know about Luis Diaz's salary at Liverpool
Colombian star Luis Diaz made headlines with Porto during the 2021-22 season, scoring and assisting freely in the Primeira Liga. His impressive performances attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. Eventually, it was the Merseyside club that secured his signature in the January transfer window, marking the beginning of his Premier League journey.
It didn't take long for Diaz to adapt to life at Liverpool, quickly becoming a key player under then-manager Jurgen Klopp. He played a vital role in helping the Reds reach the Champions League final the following season, although they ultimately lost to Real Madrid.
Diaz soon delivered major silverware at Anfield, leading the attack alongside Mohamed Salah and helping the team secure the Premier League title under Arne Slot in the 2024-25 season.
His current contract with Liverpool runs until 2027, and while he is well-compensated for his contributions, his salary remains relatively modest compared to some of the club's top earners. So, exactly how much does the Colombian make?
