Luis Díaz's luxury break from Liverpool's inactivity

Liverpool will have a long break due to the suspension of their game against Chelsea and the international break for national team friendlies in the run-up to the World Cup in Qatar. After Tuesday's Champions League group stage second leg against Ajax Amsterdam, the Reds will be back on the pitch until 1 October when they host Brighton at Anfield.

In the meantime, Liverpool have advanced the release of Luis Diaz, who flew ahead of his team-mates to the United States for a short break before joining up with the Colombian national team. After all, there will be a packed schedule of Premier League games, Champions League matches and this international break that gives him little time with his family.

Liverpool fans not alone in their enthusiasm for Luis Díaz

That's why the Colombian went with his wife Geraldine and daughter Roma, no less than to New York, the capital of the world, a trip that he took advantage of to take a necessary break and stroll through an unparalleled city. This is how the Diaz family spent their short holiday.

But it was precisely this time away from competition that clubs like Liverpool, who were aware of their basic problems at the start of the season and have taken the opportunity to correct them. That is where Luis Diaz is, although it is worth noting that he has been the one least to blame for the Reds' unexpectedly poor results.

Incidentally, in the football market, which does not stop moving for mourning or anything like that, the value of the Colombian has once again become a source of pride for the country: he is one of the 20 most expensive footballers in the world! Díaz is 19th in the top of the most valuable players, led by Kylian Mbappé (160 million euros), followed by Erling Haaland (150 million euros) and Vinicius (100 million euros).
