Luis Diaz is Liverpool's new star, but earns less than Darwin Nunez and Adrian San Miguel

The Colombian striker should be treated on a par with his displays on the pitch

After Luis Diaz was one of the best players in Liverpool's FA Cup clash with Arsenal, hundreds of fans have expressed their desire to see the Colombian continue to be part of the starting lineup, with much talk about the deserved continuity on the pitch, as well as a salary increase to match his level of play, being surprising to see that Lucho has one of the lowest salaries of the entire team at present.

If taken as a reference of figures like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk has the highest salary of the group, it would be expected that elements like Luis Diaz would be below but not within the lowest paid, seeing many as unfair that Darwin Nunez have an income of 140 thousand euros over the barely 55 thousand of Luis Diaz.

It is even more surprising if we compare the Colombian's figure with that of other players who have not had any activity with the team this season, such as Thiago Alcántara who earns 200 thousand euros, or goalkeeper Adrian who surpasses Lucho by five thousand euros in weekly earnings.

This list that looks so unbalanced within Liverpool should be fixed as soon as possible, and is that perhaps Luis Diaz could not reach those 140 of Nunez or 200 of Alcantara, but it could be placed at least within the elements that see six-digit earnings, being Joel Matip in that section the one who earns the least with 100 thousand euros, the maximum cap being Mohamed Salah with 350 thousand euros.

One more Resd star joins this unfair salary list

Just as Diaz is put as one of the players whose salary should be raised as soon as possible after what he has shown in this season that is still ongoing, this situation may also begin to happen with Wataru Endo, an element that has surprised many for his great level displayed in midfield, deserving the Japanese perhaps not equal, but at least increase their numbers in the portfolio, ranking as the fifth but paid with 50 thousand euros, being very little if you take as a reference that elements such as Mac Allister or Gravenberch earn 150 thousand.
