French outlet Jeunes Footeux are reporting that Liverpool remain interested in the 22-year-old despite resisting a move previously.

David is under contract until 2025 as things stand.

Everton and Luiz

One from the past. According to The Athletic, Everton tried to sign Luis Diaz in 2020.

Diaz joined Liverpool on a £37.5million deal in January, and he is already impressing, netting within his first three outings.

According to the report, Everton tried to sign him for around £25million in 2020 when Richarlison was being linked with a departure.

The Reds will be grateful that move never panned out.
