At the start of the current season, all eyes at Liverpool were on three players and their contracts: Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Now that Salah and Van Dijk have renewed their contracts and Trent seems set to join Real Madrid, few are talking about another key star of the team: Luis Diaz.

While recent reports suggested Liverpool’s dissatisfaction with Diaz and the possibility of the Colombian star’s departure, Luis Diaz today tried to win over the fans and encourage them to prevent his exit in an interview with TNT Mexico.

Diaz described himself as a passionate and devoted Liverpool fan, saying playing for Liverpool was the best thing that ever happened to him and he wants to continue experiencing this feeling for a long time.

The Colombian star of Liverpool said: “Playing in front of Liverpool fans is an honor for me. Liverpool is one of the biggest clubs in England and the world. When the incredible fans of such a big club support me like this, it’s my duty to repay them. What I want is to have such conditions for the rest of my football career. I want to play here and make my name permanent at Liverpool. We will continue to fight. We fight for the fans to make them happy. I have many childhood memories. I don’t think I’ve ever said that I’ve been a Liverpool fan since childhood and my dream was to one day win trophies with Liverpool, especially the Premier League. We are very close now and this makes me happy. I thank God that I am here today and fighting for the Premier League title with Liverpool. This was my dream for many years.”
