Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has said that he is "very happy" at Anfield amid suggestions of a potential summer departure for the Colombia international.
The 27-year-old has again been an important player for the Reds during the 2023-24 campaign, making 49 appearances in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and registering five assists in the process.
Diaz has another three years left to run on his contract at Anfield, but there have recently been claims that he could be on the move during the upcoming market.
Barcelona are believed to be one of a number of clubs to have expressed an interest in the South American.
However, Diaz has suggested that he has no plans to seek a summer departure, with the forward predicting "great years" for the club despite the exit of Jurgen Klopp as head coach.

"It's no secret, we didn't finish as well as we hoped. For us, it was crucial to win the league and all the competitions we were in. Unfortunately, the results lately could not be achieved," he added in an interview with Liverpool's official website.

Paris Saint-Germain are another club thought to be interested in his signature, with the French champions preparing to replace Kylian Mbappe, who will leave on a free transfer at the end of next month.
Liverpool have seen their Premier League title hopes evaporate in recent weeks, but they will be bidding to end their campaign on a positive note.
The Reds will travel to Aston Villa on Monday evening before welcoming Wolverhampton Wanderers to Anfield next weekend in what will mark the end of Klopp's time as head coach of the club.
