Liverpool Superstar Joining Barcelona Would Be ‘Significant Step’ Amid PSG Links | OneFootball

In recent weeks, there have been rumors linking Paris Saint-Germain with Liverpool‘s standout player, Luis Díaz. While there are conflicting reports regarding the seriousness of PSG’s interest, there’s new information on the file, and one expert believes that the Colombian needs to head to FC Barcelona.

The 27-year-old has a contract until 2027, but Liverpool wants to secure him with a new agreement, given the considerable interest he’s generating. According to a recent report from SPORT, Díaz is open to a move to Barcelona, but Liverpool is determined to make negotiations challenging.

The report suggests that Xavi Hernandez is keen to bolster his attacking options after failing to retain Ousmane Dembelé, with the Liverpool standout being one of his preferred targets in the market.

Former footballer Fernando Morientes spoke with Diario AS and noted that he would like to see Díaz in La Liga, which would likely mean joining Barcelona.

“Yes, I would like to see him in La Liga,” Morientes told the Spanish media outlet (h/t Le10Sport). “I think it would be a significant step forward for many Colombian fans eagerly following La Liga. The addition of another player like Luis Díaz would encourage numerous fans to keep following our league.”

How much would Barcelona need to pay for the former FC Porto sensation? A recent report reveals that the winger is valued at £75 million.
