Luis Diaz's entourage have reportedly slammed suggestions the forward could leave Liverpool, branding a recent story as a 'lie'.
Rumours surfaced on Monday claiming that Diaz could be set to leave the Reds at the end of the season. The Colombia international is barely over 12 months into his life on Merseyside.
It was claimed by reports in Italy that AC Milan forward Rafael Leao was a player of interest to Jurgen Klopp. As a result, the article claimed that a deal could be made for Diaz to go to the San Siro, in order to lower the fee needed to sign Leao.

However, Diaz will not be going anywhere anytime soon. The 26-year-old will be hoping to make his return from a knee injury in the near future.
With rumours around Diaz’s future doing the rounds, a new update has emerged from his homeland. Colombia-based journalist Pipe Sierra has explained the stance on Diaz’s future as a Liverpool player.
Sierra was appearing on Colombian television outfit Win Sports TV, via Sport Witness. The report stated that he had been in touch with Diaz’s representatives to get a response to the rumours.
He said that he would censor what was put to him in the response, due to the nature of the reply. When asked for the essence of the answer, Sierra claims Diaz's team branded the rumour “a lie”.
Klopp will have no intention of sanctioning an exit for Diaz, with the player only signing from Porto in January last year. The winger scored four goals in 11 appearances prior to suffering his knee injury in October.
