Premier League
Luis Diaz has once again shone brightly this season at Liverpool. The Colombian international has reached his football maturity under the guidance of Arne Slot, establishing himself as one of the key figures at the English club. His stats speak for themselves: 17 goals and eight assists in 48 matches, placing him among the most disruptive wingers in European football.
However, his future at Anfield is not certain. Despite the club's efforts to extend his contract, which runs until 2027, negotiations for his renewal are still ongoing. This situation has sparked the interest of several top clubs across Europe, including a determined FC Barcelona looking to strengthen their attack for the 2025/26 season.
A signing that won't be easy or cheap for Barcelona
According to 'EstadioDeportivo,' the Barcelona sporting director, led by Deco, has identified Luis Diaz as one of their top priorities for the upcoming summer transfer window. The cost of the deal is estimated between 80 and 90 million euros, a substantial figure considering the current financial capabilities of the Catalan club. However, they are not ruling out the possibility of assuming this cost if they manage to reduce the wage bill through significant player departures.
Freshly crowned LaLiga champions, Barcelona is eager to progress after a challenging Champions League semifinal exit against Inter. In this scenario, Díaz's profile (pacey, direct, with an eye for goal and elite experience) fits seamlessly into Hansi Flick's plans.
Time is of the essence. Should Liverpool fail to secure Diaz's renewal promptly, Barcelona will push forward with a deal that could mark one of the major moves next summer. Luis Diaz is now in the spotlight... and Barça has its eyes set on him.
