The 26-year-old’s parents were at a petrol station in their home town of Barrancas when they were approached by two armed men, according to W Radio.

A desperate search for Luis Manuel Díaz and Cilenis Marulanda was been launched by the director of police General William Salamanca.

Later it was reported Cilenis had been found safe and taken into police protection.

But the footballer’s dad was still missing amid a huge search involving Colombia’s army.

Diaz’s parents are thought to have been travelling to the Los Olivos neighbourhood in a van they owned on Saturday.

Some reports suggest there was an exchange of gunfire, although this has not been officially confirmed.

The cops are said to have initiated a so-called “Padlock Plan”, sealing off the town.

Diala Wilches, the governor of La Guajira, said in a statement: “I reject and condemn the kidnapping of the parents of Luis Diaz, Luis Manuel Díaz and Cilenis Marulanda, in events that occurred in Barrancas today.
