The sports director Deco believes that it is sorely lacking in depth in this position, apart from Raphinha, who achieved exceptional performances for the Catalans despite the fact that he preferred the right wing.
Deco clearly indicated that Luis Diaz was his privileged candidate to strengthen Barcelona on the left wing, despite a mediocre season in terms of goals, while Liverpool was the best Premier League team in terms of achievements this season. Deco believes that Diaz is possible this summer and, therefore, an agreement with Liverpool will be sought during the transfer window, as reported by Sport.
Deco feeds the interest of FC Barcelona for Luis Diaz
According to some information, Liverpool is planning to sell Diaz, but would not be willing to do so for an amount of 70-75 million euros. For Barcelona, this would also involve generating 30 million euros in wage margin, the club being under increased surveillance due to its proven financial problems.
Barcelona leaders believe that it is possible, given the number of players likely to be sold this summer. Andreas Christensen, Alex Valle and Eric Garcia are among the players likely to be transferred to generate income, while the desire to separate from Ansu Fati, who refused a transfer during the winter transfer window, persists.
Diaz's recruitment would require a significant investment, and taking into account its performances in Liverpool this season, it would be not very good to target this sum.
