The transfer market continues to be the protagonist, and one of the most popular names is Luis Díaz. The Colombian winger, a fundamental piece in Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool, has aroused the interest of FC Barcelona, which seeks to strengthen its attack for next season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, citing Teamtalk, the culé team sees in Díaz a player who would fit perfectly into their style of play. Furthermore, they know his love for the club and are convinced that they could convince him to change his scene. However, the operation will not be easy, since Liverpool values the Colombian at around 70 or 75 million euros.
A salary below the market
One of the reasons that could facilitate Díaz’s departure is his salary. Despite being one of the most important players on the squad, the Colombian earns a much lower amount than other teammates. This situation has generated some discomfort in the player, who has already requested a salary increase from the ‘red’ board.
Liverpool, with their sights set on Salah
For its part, Liverpool faces a dilemma. The renewal of Mohamed Salah is the club’s number one priority, and negotiations with the Egyptian are in an advanced stage. However, Díaz’s situation must also be addressed, although in the background. The ‘reds’ know that if they want to retain the Colombian, they will have to substantially improve their offer.
A busy winter market
Barcelona could take advantage of this situation to try to sign Díaz in the next winter market. However, the ‘culés’ also have other options in mind and are not willing to pay any price for the Colombian. Everything will depend on the evolution of the negotiations between Díaz and Liverpool, as well as Barcelona’s financial situation.
In short, the future of Luis Díaz is full of unknowns. The Colombian is a highly coveted player and his departure from Liverpool would not be unreasonable. However, the high cost of his signing and Liverpool’s priority in renewing Salah could make his arrival at Barcelona difficult.
