Arne Slot is already a huge fan of one Liverpool player and wants him to be offered a new contract

Liverpool were rampant at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, defeating Manchester United 3-0.

Arne Slot’s side continued their 100 per cent record and joined only Manchester City in achieving that feat.

Liverpool were totally dominant against Man United and perhaps could’ve scored four or five, so there’s certainly a lot of positivity around Merseyside.

Luis Diaz netted a brace before Mohamed Salah rounded off the scoring with a perfectly executed first-time strike.

Now, TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Slot already wants to hand a new contract to one of his first-teamers who’s really impressed.

Luis Diaz pushing for new Liverpool contract

TBR Football understands that Diaz’s representatives are again pressing for talks over a new contract that will see him become one of the highest earners at Anfield.

Diaz has three-years left on his current deal, but since the turn of the year he and his people have been wanting fresh terms.

They have attracted some interest from Barcelona, but Liverpool have little intention of losing the Colombian – who has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season.

Arne Slot happy to offer Luis Diaz fresh terms

Whilst a new contract for Trent Alexander-Arnold is the priority for Liverpool’s hierarchy that does not mean they are not actively looking at other situations which includes Diaz and talks are set to take place again. The two parties have had negotiations previously.

TBR understands Slot is a huge fan of Diaz and is happy for him to be rewarded with fresh terms.

The 27-year-old has netted three times whilst laying on one assist so far under the Dutchman and has established himself as a talismanic figure.
