Diaz, who left Liverpool in a £65 million move last summer, has excelled at Bayern Munich, forming part of a prolific attacking trio underlining his value at the highest level.
His success has led to reflection at Anfield over whether letting him go was a mistake.
Concerns over squad depth and local talent
With Liverpool manager Arne Slot overseeing a squad rebuild, there are growing concerns about losing versatile and homegrown players.
Jones, who has 14 months remaining on his contract, has attracted interest from clubs across Europe due to his limited starting opportunities.
Despite reduced game time, the midfielder has stood out statistically, ranking highly in key passing and ball progression metrics in the Premier League.
His versatility across midfield and defensive roles has been highlighted as a major asset, reports Talk Sport.
Former Liverpool player Jermaine Pennant has urged the club to act quickly, stressing Jones’ importance as a local talent who understands the club’s identity.
He warned that allowing another key player to leave could weaken an already transitioning squad.
Liverpool are expected to make key decisions this summer as they aim to balance squad depth, retain core players, and avoid further high-profile departures.
