La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have contacted the representatives of Luis Diaz, with Liverpool demanding €60-65 million to part ways with him this summer.
According to a report by Pipe Sierra on Mas Que Pelotas, Luis Diaz is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Catalan giants are keen on signing the Liverpool attacker before the summer transfer window shuts down. Meanwhile, the Reds want around €60-65 million to part ways with the Colombian international.
Luis Diaz and his Liverpool journey so far
Luis Diaz has made a considerable impact since joining Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022. The South American attacker was already a highly-rated attacker before moving to Anfield two and a half years ago. While he has not been as productive as he would have liked, he has been a mainstay in the final third for the Merseyside outfit.
The 27-year-old has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Liverpool while chipping in with 24 goals and 13 assists. Meanwhile, Diaz’s progress at the Merseyside club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Barcelona will be one of his prospective suitors in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Barcelona interested in Diaz
Barcelona wanted to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club in the summer transfer window. The Spanish international was the priority target for the Blaugrana in the first few weeks of the window. However, Williams has decided to stay at San Mames after taking the team’s no. 10 jersey.
Luis Diaz has thus emerged as a viable alternative to Nico Williams for Barcelona. The Colombian international might not have been highly productive at Liverpool FC in the last two and a half years. However, he has the quality to become a pivotal figure for Barcelona.
The latest update by Pipe Sierra has revealed that the Catalan giants have contacted Luis Diaz’s representatives regarding a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Liverpool will demand around €60-65 million to part ways with the South American attacker.
It is unclear if Barcelona will have the funds to cough up €60-65 million to sign Diaz before the summer transfer window shuts down. It will be interesting to see if a summer move for the 27-year-old attacker sees the light of day.
