The shocking and unanticipated news in the world of football is that Luis Diaz, a Colombian star for Liverpool, has had his parents abducted.

The football player’s mother has been recovered, according to later claims verified by Colombian President Gustavo Pedro, but the hunt for his father, who has vanished, is still ongoing.

In recent years, Luis Diaz has become one of Colombia and Liverpool’s most prolific goal scorers. His incredible performances for the Colombian National team in the Copa America, where he was a terror for opposing defenders due to his deft dribbling and outpacing runs in the opponent half, are a testament to his stratospheric rise.

But when news broke last night that his parents had been abducted, he could have had to deal with one of the most unusual situations of his life.

President Gustavo Pedro of Colombia made reference to his mother’s rescue as they gathered a group of detectives to look for the couple who went missing in the region of La Guajira in the country’s north. While they continue to look into the case of his missing father, the attorney general’s office has also brought up his mother Cilenis Marulanda’s rescue in conversations with William Rene Salamanca, director of the National Police.

Men with guns rode up on motorcycles.

According to reports, gunmen on motorbikes stopped Diaz’s parents as they were driving home and abducted them before frisking them and taking off in their car.

The Colombian Football Federation has expressed regret for the occurrence and plans to look into this horrible situation further. They have also asked authorities to expedite his father’s rescue.

Due to his success at Porto, Luis Diaz signed a multi-million dollar contract with Liverpool in 2022. He has scored 14 goals in 58 games for the Reds, making him one of Jurgen Klopp’s more daring players. He has remained silent about the incident while Colombian investigators work to learn more. On Sunday, Liverpool takes on Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
