Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Liverpool star forward Luis Diaz who is unhappy with his contract situation.
According to Sport via SportWitness, Barcelona are very attentive to Luis Diaz’s situation at Liverpool. The Catalan giants have a long-standing interest in the Colombian international and they could look to make the most out of his contract situation at the Merseyside club.
Diaz has only gone from strength to strength since arriving at Anfield at the start of 2022. The former FC Porto star has established himself as a key figure in the team. He has played a big part in their dominant run this season. The 27-year-old has 12 goals and three assists in his 24 outings so far.
Despite his consistent performances on the pitch, the winger’s continuity at Liverpool is not guaranteed. The player and his representatives are unhappy about him not getting an improved contract offer from the Reds.
While recent reports have suggested that the Merseyside club are working on a potential renewal, it seems nothing concrete has happened so far and his camp are not pleased with the situation.
Barcelona could pounce on an opportunity to sign Diaz
Barcelona are well aware of the situation and they could look to make the most out of it. Diaz’s representatives have strong connections with people at the Catalan club and the Colombian winger’s situation at Liverpool has put them on alert.
The 27-year-old is keen on making the move to Camp Nou and he would pounce on any opportunity. Barcelona tried to sign him last summer but things didn’t go according to plan. They are looking to reignite their interest and his contract situation could hand them an opportunity to acquire his services.
Diaz is in his prime and he could be a great signing for the Spanish giants. His ability to feature on either flank make him an ideal fit for Flick’s team. He could provide them with great flexibility. But, signing won’t be easy as Liverpool won’t let him leave on the cheap. With his current deal running until the summer of 2027, the Merseyside club holds all the cards.
