Liverpool are reportedly losing patience with Luis Diaz and could look to offload the 27-year-old winger with Barcelona among those keen.
According to Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness, Barcelona-linked Luis Diaz could leave Liverpool, as the club have reportedly lost patience with the 27-year-old. The Merseysiders had lofty expectations this season, and their potential failures could see them make several squad changes, including offloading the Colombian attacker.
Liverpool losing patience with Luis Diaz?
In the aftermath of Liverpool’s crushing defeat to Everton, which may have seen them bow out of the title race, the media is rife with multiple suggestions. Soon enough, the stories suggest a massive clearout of players, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Virgil van Dijk, and now Luis Diaz.
The Colombian has been in the news for quite a while, especially since his father made comments about a ‘dream’ move to one of the two La Liga giants ever since the media has been busy linking the 27-year-old winger to either Real Madrid or Barcelona, with the former probably not interested in the Colombian.
Despite suggestions that Liverpool are mulling over handing Diaz a new contract, the report states that the club have lost patience with the winger. Now, they are ready to sell him, re-invest the money into their squad, and sign a replacement.
The sudden change of heart is hard to explain, but the Liverpool forward has been among a host of other underperformers, that have cost the club a chance to win the Premier League. The 27-year-old still has a contract with the club until 2027, meaning the Merseysiders will expect a hefty selling fee in return, especially if one of the big clubs comes into the equation.
Barcelona linked with Diaz?
PSG were considering a move for Diaz as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, but that particular dialogue has gone cold in recent weeks. Real Madrid are reportedly not sure about him, but Barcelona are still keeping close tabs on the 27-year-old’s situation and are certainly interested in the winger.
The Catalans have already been told the need to pay a ‘crazy fee’ if they want Diaz. Now, whether Barcelona have the financial means to broker a deal remains the question. Still, the report positively links the Catalans with a move, especially now that Liverpool have lost their patience with the 27-year-old winger.
