Barcelona’s interest in Liverpool’s Luis Diaz has been rekindled as a result of Liverpool’s pursuit of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. Deco, the sporting manager of the Catalan club, has had a long-standing admiration for Diaz, who was originally signed by Liverpool from FC Porto. Previously, financial constraints prevented Barcelona from securing Diaz. However, recent changes at Liverpool, such as the departure of Jurgen Klopp and the appointment of Arne Slot as the new manager, have created new opportunities for Barcelona to potentially acquire Diaz.
Luis Diaz’s tenure at Anfield has been marked by significant challenges, largely due to language barriers that have negatively impacted his performance. Despite his impressive technical skills and strong productivity with his national team, the 27-year-old has faced criticism regarding his output at Liverpool.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Anthony Gordon has created a potential opportunity for Barcelona to target Diaz once again. However, Liverpool has made it clear that they will only entertain offers exceeding £50 million, a sum that Barcelona cannot afford without offloading some of their key players. To address this financial hurdle, Barcelona is considering selling Raphinha to generate the necessary funds to acquire Diaz.
Adding to the transfer speculation, Luis Diaz’s father has publicly expressed his son’s admiration for Barcelona, suggesting a potential move. Although Diaz is content at Liverpool and enjoys strong support from them.
