Liverpool forward to STAY after dramatic transfer U-turn
Liverpool won't pay Diaz's demands But Liverpool seem reluctant to meet those demands. If Diaz is a little disappointed by that stance, it's perfectly understandable. After all, he scored 13 goals as the Reds won the Premier League title last season. He was a key figure under Arne Slot, despite his modest Liverpool career up to that point. Advertisement Barcelona, Bayern Munich and clubs in Saudi Arabia would all happily have Diaz - but Liverpool have been steadfast in their €80m valuation of the player. As such the market is quite restricted for Diaz unless Liverpool compromise on the fee. The latest report from Colombia also suggests that Diaz is, in fact, dismayed by Liverpool's stance over letting him leave. Diaz is annoyed at Liverpool Pipe Sierra, who regularly reports on Diaz and other Colombians in Europe, suggests that Diaz's entourage believe Liverpool haven't lived up to their promises. 'Luis Díaz and his camp are annoyed with Liverpool's stance,' Sierra wrote on X. 'They feel the club has gone back on their word (yet again with the player). Advertisement 'Something similar happened before with his contract renewal and now with the possibility of a transfer.' So what's changed? The journalist seems to be suggesting that Liverpool previously informed Diaz he would be free to leave this summer. But now it appears the club have told him he will be staying.

Arsenal legend makes controversial claim about Liverpool £200m transfer business
Former Arsenal favourite Charlie Nicholas believes Florian Wirtz's transfer won't prove to be "a massive jump forward" for Premier League champions Liverpool. And the former Scotland international has also claimed the addition of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth is not a huge upgrade on Andy Robertson at left-back. Advertisement The Reds confirmed the £116m addition of Wirtz last week in a deal that could become a British record if the add-ons are achieved, while the capture of Kerkez at £40m was also confirmed on Thursday. Both targets are part of what has so far been a hugely exciting transfer window so far for the Reds, who will welcome the June additions alongside £29m pair Jeremie Frimpong and Giorgi Mamardashvili to pre-season training on July 7. READ MORE: Liverpool chairman Tom Werner on Arne Slot, historic transfer spend and FSG's future Anfield plans READ MORE: Alexander Isak Liverpool transfer next step clear as fee and wages positions explained Advertisement However, Nicholas, who won the League Cup with Arsenal in 1987, scoring twice in their 2-1 Wembley win over Liverpool, remains unconvinced by the champions' summer business so far, which has cost more than £200m, telling Sky Bet: 'Liverpool have made some interesting moves so far this window. "Is Milos Kerkez going to be better than Andy Robertson? I don't think so and don't think their defence has drastically improved. "Florian Wirtz is a fantastic signing, but he may take time to settle - the buzz is mainly around the big fee paid, like when Arsenal signed Declan Rice. "Everyone at the time thought that fee was ridiculous, but he's proved to be a valuable signing. I'm sure Wirtz will be too, but I don't think it's a massive jump forward for Liverpool. Advertisement 'As for Manchester City, they've signed well, but not overwhelmingly so. They need to replace Kevin De Bruyne and get far more out of Phil Foden, and the new signings will take time to settle in. "The big thing they are waiting for is Rodri's return from injury but defensively I don't see them being much better than last season. I think the league is a three-horse race again - Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool.' Nicholas also gave his verdict on Darwin Nunez, who is the subject of interest from Napoli, adding: 'Nunez has good assets - his pace, movement, bravery - but his big disappointment has been his erratic finishing. "It's as if the pressure got too much for him. When you see Luis Diaz and Mo Salah being calm in important moments, he just never seemed to produce that. When the pressure is on you, and you're not getting in the team, and it sounds like he's had rows with Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, asking why he's not in the team, and they would've probably said the same as me. Advertisement 'He's not handled the pressure of being a finisher for a club this well. Saying that, we're waiting on one big striker transfer in the Premier League that will set a domino effect for a lot of clubs. "I think he could still do a great job in the Premier League, but I don't think he'll be looking to stay - he should go somewhere else in Europe and re-establish himself. He needs a clean break.'

Liverpool AGREE deal to sign left-winger
Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign an exciting left-winger. It's a busy summer at Anfield. Richard Hughes is gearing up for one of the best windows in Premier League history. Already this has been a sensational transfer period for Liverpool. The Reds have clearly made themselves a stronger team by bringing in Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez. Advertisement But there is more to come yet at Anfield. Liverpool still need to bring in a no.9 and a centre-back and Hughes is absolutely working on getting those deals done. Although first there are departures to handle as well. There are quite a few players who face uncertain futures. Darwin Nunez, Jarell Quansah and Harvey Elliott could all be heading to pastures new. Meanwhile, the likes of Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate are in contract stand-offs that could force Liverpool into action. The former is someone Liverpool would absolutely look to replace if he decided to move away from the club. And while the club's latest signing will likely not be a direct replacement but he could follow in suit of Diaz's footsteps at Anfield in the future. Advertisement According to Football Insider Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Blackpool's left-wing sensation Gabriel Schluter, with the youngster set to complete a medical next week in order to become a Liverpool player. An exciting talent, Schluter has made one first team appearance at Blackpool to date but he's only just recently turned 16-years-old. Schluter was the youngest player in Blackpool's history when he made his debut in the EFL Trophy at just 15-years-old and nine months. He's very highly regarded and it looks like Liverpool might have got themselves a real gem to add to an already talented left-wing department at the club. Advertisement Obviously, there's Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo but there's also Trent Kone-Doherty and Rio Ngumoha, who are both really highly rated by Arne Slot and who have been regularly training with the first team. Schluter likely won't get a first team chance any time soon, although you never know given the Reds have always been very keen to promote young talent. However, the most likely situation given his age is that he will join the club's U18 side or the U21 team, where he could be working alongside Rob Page. Nonetheless, this seems like a huge coup. Signing a historic club's youngest ever player, who they rated very highly is always nice to see.

Amazing news for pet owners as dogs now live two YEARS longer – here are the reasons why
DOGS live two years longer on average than they did ten years ago, data research shows. Pooches now have a life expectancy of 12-and-a-half years, compared to just over ten a decade ago. Experts say it is down to improved vet treatments and owners feeding them healthier food. Pet food firm Bella+Duke, which did the study, also said 58 per cent of owners reckon their dog is as much a part of the family as the humans in it. The study said owners are 'investing more time and money in their pets, elevating the bond to one mirroring the connection between parent and child'. The report looked at data on 580,000 pets collected by Liverpool John Moores University and dog organisations the Kennel Club and Dogs Trust B+D co-founder Tony Ottley said many dog lovers are adopting healthier diets for themselves and want the same for their pets. He said: 'Increasingly, we hear, 'If I wouldn't eat processed junk, why should my dog?'. 'Pet owners are demanding minimally processed, nutritious food.' The majority of dog owners care more about their pet's health than their own 1
