Here’s a round-up of all the latest Liverpool news for Wednesday 25th September as Liverpool beat/lose to West Ham in Carabao Cup third round and United legend Scholes backs Liverpool title charge.
Liverpool enter contract talks with Luis Diaz
Decisions made this season will distinctly impact the trajectory of the club over the next half-decade and according to Football Insider, Liverpool are looking to be proactive in giving dynamic left-winger Luis Diaz a new deal to secure his long-term future.
Diaz has had a sublime start to the season, with his five goals in five games coming second only to Erling Haaland in the league as of today.
But while one would doubt the importance of Diaz’s contributions so far, the report certainly raises more questions than it answers.
With Diaz currently on around £50,000 a week, it would be reasonable to anticipate any new deal would reach the £100,000+ reportedly seen by fellow attackers Gakpo, Jota, Nuñez and Chiesa.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
