According to TYC, the future of Paulo Díaz at River Plate is uncertain. The source states that reprobation from fans has been directed towards the player, and it is described as an open question how his career will continue at River. TYC also states that it would not be unreasonable for some players, including Paulo Díaz, to seek a new destination in the short term.

Marcelo Gallardo told Paulo Díaz at the end of the year to find a new club, but the player did not find a new destination. Paulo Díaz said that he was told he had to leave and that during the exit process, he told himself he had to work well, whether he left or stayed. The player thinks he handled it in the best way, has improved his situation with the coach and is now happy. When asked if the decision to stay was definitive, Díaz replied that he would stay for the current transfer window at least. He did not rule out a future departure, stating that other things could happen later but that he is currently focused.

Marcelo Gallardo stated that Paulo Díaz had possibilities to leave. The coach said that the offers that arrived were not sufficient to let the player go, as he is considered an important player, and that there was a lack of a convincing offer for Díaz.

TYC reports that Paulo Díaz is seeking a new club despite having two years left on his contract.
