In search of reinforcements for its attack, FC Barcelona could intensify its efforts to attract Luis Díaz, the Colombian winger from Liverpool. Despite the ongoing financial difficulties, the Catalan club continues to closely monitor the player’s situation, particularly in the event of possible disagreements between Díaz and the Reds’ management regarding a contract extension.
A key but unsatisfied player?
Under contract with Liverpool until 2027, Luis Díaz had an excellent first part of the season with 12 goals and 3 assists in 24 matches. Still, frustrations over his playing time and a lack of salary increase could prompt the player to consider leaving. Sources close to the matter report that Díaz’s entourage, now affiliated with a major agency linked to Barça, would be in favor of a transfer to Catalonia.
Barça and Deco prepare their move
Deco, Barça sporting director, considers Luis Díaz as a key player to enable a qualitative leap for the team. Although the Colombian is among other high-profile targets like Rafael Leao or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Díaz would be an affordable and strategic option.
If Barça’s finances improve, a transfer at the end of the season seems possible. However, everything will depend on the club’s ability to find cost-effective solutions to meet its recruitment needs.
