It seems the father of Liverpool star Luis Diaz is finally set to be released by his kidnappers in Colombia.

Stories in the local media have been out since this morning, with Caracol making big coverage of it.

Hours ago, they had the information from Blu Radio claiming the ‘operation to free’ Luis Manuel Dias ‘has begun’, with the United Nations and the church moving with the last details.

The father of the Liverpool player was expected to get released soon and have a medical evaluation following the many days he was held in captivity.

Now the freshest update from Caracol Radio claims their sources confirm that the ELN will deliver Luis Manuel Diaz to UN officials, respecting the ‘protocols’ that have been agreed.

So it now looks like a matter of hours until this story is finally put to an end, as long as the criminals fulfil their promise.

Liverpool have on Thursday a match against Toulouse in the Europa League, and we’ll see how that will impact Diaz’s short-term future with the Reds.
