La Liga giants Barcelona are reportedly working on a deal to sign 28-year-old Colombian international Luis Diaz from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Luis Diaz is the subject of interest from FC Barcelona. The Catalan giants are scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Liverpool winger. They are laying the groundwork to land the Colombian international, and the player will cost around €70-75 million.
Luis Diaz and his Liverpool journey so far
Luis Diaz has established himself as one of the most mercurial attackers in the Premier League since joining Liverpool from FC Porto in January 2022. The South American attacker has shown flashes of brilliance during his stint with the Merseyside club but has not been as consistent as he would have liked in the last three years.
The 28-year-old has been solid thus far in the 2024/25 season, amassing 13 goals and five assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. While Diaz was hot off the gates this term, he has blown hot and cold in the last few months, leaving Liverpool to be over-dependent on Mohamed Salah.
Nevertheless, Diaz remains a pivotal figure for Liverpool under Arne Slot, and the Reds view him as a crucial member of their long-term future. However, Barcelona will look to prise the Colombian international away from the Merseyside club in the summer transfer window.
Will Diaz join Barcelona soon?
Barcelona’s interest in Luis Diaz is understandable. The Catalan giants are scouring the market for a versatile attacker heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati. So, the Liverpool forward has emerged as a viable target for Barcelona, with the player viewing the Blaugrana as his dream destination.
The Catalan giants are laying the groundwork to bring Diaz to Catalonia in the summer transfer window. The Liverpool winger will cost around €70-75 million in the summer transfer window, meaning Barcelona must clear €30 million from the salary cap.
Signing Diaz from Liverpool will not be straightforward, but Deco is working on the deal to land the €70-75 million-rated attacker. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona can sign the 28-year-old Colombian international in the summer transfer window.
