LIV fans all say the same thing about Diaz transfer after Argentina wonder goal

Luis Diaz has been heavily linked with a move to Barcelona this summer, with the winger proving exactly why he is being chased with an incredible goal against Argentina on Tuesday night

Liverpool fans have urged the club to keep hold of Luis Diaz after his wondergoal against Argentina. Diaz started as Colombia travelled to Buenos Aires for a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.

The winger enjoyed another strong season at Liverpool, scoring 17 goals and notching eight assists as the Reds won the Premier League title. But he has been heavily linked with a move this summer.

Barcelona are keen to sign the 28-year-old, despite Liverpool insisting he is not for sale and the fact he has another two years to run on his contract. Diaz proved exactly why Barca are chasing him on Tuesday.

He opened the scoring for Colombia 24 minutes into Tuesday's game at the Estadio Mâs Monumental. It was an incredible goal, with Diaz picking up the ball midway into Argentina's half.

He then drove forward, past Tottenham star Cristian Romero and three other Albiceleste defenders. That run also saw him cut inside the box to the penalty spot and he then slotted a finish low past Emi Martinez.

It was a stunning goal and one which saw Liverpool fans urge their club against letting him go this summer. One fan said: "He deserves a new contract and better salary.

Another added: "Quality player, if he played for someone else we’d be saying sign him. Fans shouldn’t be forcing him out." A third claimed: "The price tag just went up to 100 million."

A fourth joked: "And some of you want Anthony Gordon." A fifth added: "How people want Luis Díaz sold I will never know.

A sixth insisted: "Keep Lucho beyond this summer. He's still got it all." While a final fan concluded: "If we didn’t already have him, we would be in here calling for the club to sign him."

Unfortunately for Diaz, his side were unable to see out the win. Thiago Almada rescued a point for the hosts with nine minutes to play, leaving boss Lionel Scaloni cutting a relieved figure.

"I think the best thing about the team is their constant desire to try, which is always valuable," he said. "Beyond the fact that the opponent always makes things difficult for you, keep trying and looking to recover the ball quickly.

"Everything that is the desire in the divided ball, not giving up any for lost... From that point of view it is something to be very, very satisfied. it is something that in football today is very important.

"Especially if they are going to present us with games like this. We have to be alert, face them and I think that in that the team was present. Happy."
