Barcelona have enquired about Luis Diaz after a meeting with the player’s agent, who has since quoted an ‘unfeasible’ price for the Colombian.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona chief Joan Laporta held a meeting with the agent of Luis Diaz, Carlos Van Strahalen and enquired about the attacker’s situation. The Liverpool mainstay remains an essential player at Anfield, and it would take an ‘unfeasible’ price of at least €120 million for the Catalans to lure him away.
Barcelona quoted ‘unfeasible’ price for Luis Diaz
Barcelona are not in the best of financial positions as things stand. Yet, there are plenty of rumours suggesting the club is planning an expansive summer window. The Catalans are planning on some quality sales to raise funds for new signings, and one of the players they are keen on includes Liverpool mainstay Luis Diaz.
Diaz has become a top star under Jurgen Klopp since arriving from FC Porto in a deal worth €45 million over two years ago. A long-term contract protects Liverpool, and the Colombian is a firm crowd favourite over Anfield. Luring him away from the club will be a considerable task, even for a club of Barcelona’s stature.
Barcelona chief Joan Laporta recently held a meeting with Carlos Van Strahalen, the agent of Luis Diaz, and enquired about Colombia’s situation. In turn, the winger’s representative quoted an ‘unfeasible’ price for the winger. Liverpool reported want around €140 million to sell, which may bring back memories of when they sold Philippe Coutinho to the Catalans all those years ago.
Are Liverpool planning to sell Luis Diaz?
As things stand, Luis Diaz is a significant player for Liverpool, and they could plan the future with the Colombian as a big part. Yet, with many FFP-related regulations ruling the market of English clubs, many clubs are considering selling some of their prized assets, including Liverpool, who might part ways with the winger.
Liverpool are anticipating a considerable offer to come in for Mohamed Salah in the summer, and should they accept that, then Luis Diaz will likely stay put. While Barcelona are keen, they might utterly struggle to even come halfway through the Reds’ asking price for the Colombian winger in the summer window.
