Liverpool forward Luis Díaz has been the subject of transfer speculation this summer, with Barcelona expressing strong interest in bringing him to Camp Nou.
According to Spanish outlet AS, Díaz has his heart set on a move to Barcelona and is open to joining the La Liga champions—even if they’re unable to officially register him before the summer window closes.
Díaz’s Unusual Request
The report highlights that the Colombian international has made a specific demand: if Barcelona fail to register him by August 31, rendering him ineligible to play until January, he expects significant financial compensation. This shows Díaz’s commitment to joining Barcelona, even if it means waiting months to take the field—as long as he’s fairly compensated.
It’s also reported that Barcelona are already in talks with Díaz’s representatives and are working on a draft contract.
Will Liverpool Approve the Move?
It remains uncertain whether Liverpool will agree to let Díaz go. He played a key role last season, especially alongside Mohamed Salah in the attack. While Liverpool have brought in Florian Wirtz this summer, they still lack sufficient depth up front. Offloading Díaz may not be in their best interest—especially as they seek to strengthen their squad rather than weaken it. A reliable goal scorer is still a pressing need.
Initially valued at around €70 million, Díaz’s price tag may have shifted due to the unfortunate passing of Diogo Jota, which has further reduced Liverpool’s attacking options. Given their current situation, the club may be reluctant to sell the Colombian star.
