For the latter, Luis Diaz is the privileged target of the sports director Deco, even if an agreement could be difficult to find with him and his club, Liverpool.
Barcelona is concretely interested in Luis Diaz
Deco admires Diaz for a long time and has already received the approval of Barcelona coach Hansi Flick to continue the negotiations. In recent weeks, the prospect of an agreement seemed promising for the Liga champions, knowing that Liverpool will probably have to raise funds following the expected recruitment of Florian Wirtz.
Despite this, and despite the fact that Diaz is a Barcelona supporter since childhood, he is far from being certain that an agreement is reached this summer. Sales will be necessary before being able to bring together the funds necessary for a transfer, and it is possible that personal conditions are not yet defined.
Diaz “uses Barcelona” to obtain a contract extension with Liverpool
As Révo reports, Diaz favors his maintenance in Liverpool next season and it seems that he is exploiting the interest of FC Barcelona to put pressure on the Premier League champion and obtain a contract extension.
In recent months, rumors have been circulated that Liverpool would plan to offer a new contract to Diaz, but at this stage, negotiations have not succeeded. The player and his representatives are dissatisfied with the proposed conditions, hence the desire to raise the pressure by exploiting the interest of FC Barcelona.
If this is the case, it would not be surprising that Barcelona forgets Diaz, because the club will only look for players whose priority is to wear the Blaugrana jersey. Among these is Marcus Rashford, another target of the club for the post of left winger.
