Barcelona’s growing interest in one of Liverpool’s title-winning stars could significantly influence the Reds’ summer plans.
Spanish reports indicate that Luis Díaz has emerged as Barcelona’s top attacking target. Joaquim Piera, writing for SPORT.es, claims both new manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco are in agreement about pursuing the Colombian winger.
Labelled a “dream player,” Díaz is praised for his fearless one-on-one ability, wing play, and goal contributions—qualities Barca reportedly lack. After notching 17 goals and five assists this season, he’s seen as a ready-made solution and a world-class addition to their front line.
Díaz is said to be highly admired in Barcelona, and a move worth around €85 million may be required to tempt Liverpool into selling their No. 7.
With Darwin Núñez expected to leave this summer, Liverpool are already eyeing options for a new No. 9. However, it’s uncertain whether they are planning to reinforce their wing options as well.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s new head coach, is known to value Díaz’s versatility and direct play on the left and centrally. Losing him could be a significant setback as Slot embarks on his second season in charge.
Díaz’s leadership and consistency during a transitional year were vital to Liverpool’s Premier League title win in their first campaign after Jürgen Klopp’s departure. If the transfer happens, fans will hope it’s part of a broader, well-thought-out strategy for the future.
