Further reports pushed this claim, adding that Diaz was even ready to force an exit from Liverpool amid interest from the Catalan giants.

But Diaz, who has linked with up the Colombia national team ahead of the start of Copa America has denied the talk and insisted he is "very happy" at the club.

He told Gol Caracol: "I’m very happy there at Liverpool, it’s a great team and club, I’ve always wanted to play there, so I’m very happy and relaxed.

"I’m not thinking about anything else, I’m thinking about the Colombia national team, which is where we are."
