Why Barcelona are ‘losing patience’ with attacking transfer target | OneFootball

The board at La Liga giants Barcelona are growing impatient with the situation of a headline member of the club’s summer transfer shortlist.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who highlight Luis Díaz as the player in question.

Wide-man Díaz has of course seen his name pushed somewhat into the background in Catalunya’s capital over recent days.

This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the Colombian has been overtaken in the race to be a new Barcelona player by Athletic Club standout Nico Williams.

This shift came for a number of reasons, not least of them the fact that Nico himself is actively pushing for a Camp Nou switch.

A similar approach had been expected on Díaz’s part for some time now, but is yet to come to fruition.

And as per the aforementioned MD, as much has not gone down well with the likes of Deco and Joan Laporta:

‘In the case of Luis Díaz, Barcelona have begun to lose patience. Joan Laporta and Deco’s plan was for the Colombian to put strong pressure on Liverpool. However, aside from Díaz’s statements in a recent press conference, the reality is that there has not been any significant pressure on the Anfield leadership.’
