Luis Diaz next club odds: Saudi Arabia to rival Barcelona

Barcelona and Saudi Arabia are set to be do battle for the Liverpool winger according to the latest Luis Diaz next club odds released by Ladbrokes.

With Florian Wirtz set to sign for Liverpool, and rumours suggesting he could play off the left, many are beginning to feel that Diaz's days at Anfield may be numbered.

If he does leave the Premier League champions, which reports state could well happen, then the bookies feel that Lucho will be at either Barcelona, or one of the clubs in Saudi Arabia next season.

Barcelona are the favourites to sign Diaz this summer, and that's with good reason, with the Spanish side actually opening talks with Liverpool over a transfer this week.

Despite that, the transfer sage is far from over, with Liverpool turning down Barcelona's request, stating that they aren't interested in selling Diaz this summer.

David Ornstein posted: "Liverpool rebuff Barcelona approach to discuss signing Luis Diaz. Barcelona made contact yesterday but Liverpool clear not for sale."

However, many fans feel that a substantial bid for Diaz, likely from Saudi Arabia, could chance Liverpool's stance, and that's supported by Ornstein's report.

Ornstein continued: "New contract unlikely [for Diaz] so unless bids land to change stance 28yo stays even if it leads to free agency."

A portion of fans feel that Liverpool would sell, especially for the right price. Their chances of getting a bid that is more in line with what they're after is if their stance is that they aren't selling, at least right now.

It's all Barcelona when it comes to Diaz moving to Spain, but what if Real Madrid enter the conversation?

The latest odds suggest it's unlikely, but Los Blancos are 16/1 to sign Diaz this summer, with the chances of that happening likely to increase if Rodrygo is sold.

Priced as the outsiders in the race to sign Diaz are Bayern Munich, who have actually been linked to his team mate Cody Gakpo since missing out on Wirtz to the Reds.

Speaking of Wirtz, perhaps the negotiations between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen for the £100m+ player may have gotten onto the topic of Diaz, as the bookies have him at just 50/1 to move to the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions.

It's worth stating that the odds are definitely not suggesting that a move to Germany is likely for Diaz. The current race seems to be betting Barcelona and Saudi Arabia, with the prospect of Lucho staying at Anfield still on the table.
