Last month, reports from Colombia suggested there is a dispute between Luis Díaz and Liverpool regarding the extension of his contract at Anfield.
A confidential report in Tuesday’s edition of Sport reveals that Barcelona is closely monitoring the forward’s situation at Liverpool.
The La Liga club showed interest in the 27-year-old during the summer transfer window, but no deal materialized. Sport notes that while it’s harder to pry him away from Liverpool, Barcelona might get a fresh opportunity to sign him.
Díaz’s contract runs until 2027, and the report mentions that his representatives are frustrated by Liverpool’s failure to improve his terms. His entourage has a strong relationship with Barcelona, and the current turmoil surrounding his personal situation at Liverpool has caught the club’s attention. The report also states that Díaz himself is keen on a move to Camp Nou.
Sport adds that Hansi Flick’s team is aware of the situation, and if no progress is made on his contract renewal, Barcelona could have a chance to sign him. However, without a renewal, Liverpool could still make it challenging for Barcelona to acquire Díaz, a factor the report doesn’t fully address.
