The sports director of FC Barcelona had told the media that the club was preparing transfers for Diaz and Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), but then said that talking about an agreement for one or the other player was disrespectful towards their respective clubs. The Catalan giants wish to strengthen their already formidable attack with another field player to rest players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, who have played nearly 50 games this season. However, the public declaration of interest for Diaz was mocked by slot.

Evoking potential arrivals, Deco said:
“Talking about players under contract with other clubs is complicated out of respect. We love Luis (Diaz), we love (Marcus) Rashford and we love other players. When we go on the market, we find names that we know and which could improve the team. »»
Responding to Deco, Slot said at a press conference: ”
Each club has its own way of doing things. You are used to what I am not talking about players from other clubs that we have not recruited. »»
Slot responds to Deco
“I understand that he is a great admirer of Lucho Diaz, because I am too. He is an excellent player, who has had an excellent season. He (Deco) admires some players, like all of us. I also admire Lamine Yamal and Raphinha a lot! »»
Liverpool will hesitate to let Diaz go without recovering more than the 50 million pounds sterling ($ 67 million) they spent to bring the Colombian to Anfield only three years ago.
