Liverpool value Luis Diaz at €60 million amid Barcelona links

Liverpool have slapped a €60 million price tag on their Colombian star Luis Diaz amidst interest from Barcelona.

Barcelona have already started planning for the next summer transfer window. Sporting director Deco is looking at ways to reinforce their attack and according to a report from Fichajes, the Catalan giants are keen on adding Luis Diaz to his team.

The Colombian international has been a key figure in the Merseyside club since joining them at the start of 2022. The 27-year-old winger has put him consistent performances this season and he has 15 goal contributions to show for it.

While he has been one of their best players under Arne Slot, Diaz’s long-term future isn’t certain. Even though his contract at the club runs until the summer of 2027, he could end up parting ways next summer as the Colombian international has recently turned down Liverpool’s latest renewal offer.

Diaz continues to dream about Barcelona move

Certain reports suggest that the offer was deemed to be not good enough. It has fueled speculation about a possible transfer as his refusal is said to be motivated by his desire to play for Barcelona.

He dreams of playing at Camp Nou and is well aware of the Catalan giants’ interest in his services. They did want to sign him last summer but things didn’t go according to plan.

Barcelona retain interest in him and Deco is said to lead the charge on their behalf. He is considered an ideal fit for their system but they will have to fork out €60 million to sign him.

He is a key figure in the Liverpool team and they won’t let go of him for anything less than the €60 million. While it is considered a viable option for Barcelona, they will have to make a lot of financial adjustments to get it over the line.

The Catalan giants will have to part ways with quite a few of their players to make room for the 27-year-old given how complicated their finances are at this point in time.
